Summary

Please do donate at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/westandtogethermanchester and https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/muslimsformanchester. Also this week, we've been watching Three Girls, the truly arresting three part drama from the BBC, reading My Family's Slave by Alex Tizon in The Atlantic, and rediscovering the Kate Moss Topshop collection via eBay. Oh, and news alert: M & S are adding bananas to their fruit salad. Don't forget to subscribe to The High Low on iTunes and leave us a review and follow us on Twitter @thehighlowshow.
