Is Ruth Coppinger right? Would the deference being shown to the Burke family be shown a trackie wearing “Anto”?

Ruth Coppinger tweeted the other day about the amount of deference being shown to Enoch Burke and his family in the High Court.

A short, vertical video experiment on YouTube

I published a short, vertical video on YouTube yesterday evening at around 9 pm. It was only about 50 seconds long and it was simply me baking sourdough bread at the weekend.
