Shetland News, 30 April 2021) I would like to point out firstly, that partitioning is where a single country is split, something that the British did to other countries, e.g. to Ireland and India, creating Northern Ireland and Pakistan and immeasurable suffering to thousands. 13 of 17Adverts The United Kingdom is not a country, itâs made up of three countries and the part of Ireland that Westminster partitioned from Ireland. Secondly, his assertion that the Scottish NHS would change from being free at point of need to a private model is wholly malicious fearmongering. The Scottish NHS is far more at risk if we stay in the union with Westminster Tory austerity guaranteed and Boris so desperate to do a deal with America, and its privatised model of health care hungry for new markets.
