Salford college pays students £20 just to go to school

After today's news that a college in Salford is paying its students £20 a week just to attend classes, you have to start to wonder whether everyone in this particular northern town is on some sort of pay to stay scheme.

Because you already have all those BBC staff who migrated north with the financial help of licence fee-paying mugs elsewhere, as part of some bizarre bureaucratic anthropology experiment and now kids are being paid a cash incentive just to stay at school.
