English nationalism and the NHS. Chris Buckler, along with former MPs Ian Paisley and Michelle Gildernew, explore issues around the constitutional future and status of Northern Ireland. Chris travels to England to hear the views of people there. Would they care if Northern Ireland left the UK ? and the NHS has long been cited by unionists as one of the key practical advantages of the Union. Is the future of the health service still an issue that could sway voters in any future Border Poll?
