DavidLowe published Boots: How a tiny Nottingham herbalist store became a global...

Traditional drugs were beyond the reach of most ordinary people when agricultural worker John Boot opened a shop in Nottingham's Lace Market in 1849. This is the remarkable story of Boots.A tiny herbalist's store in Goose Gate, grandly titled the British and American Botantic Establishment, catered for the city's industrial poor.After John's death in 1860, his widow Mary ran the shop with the help of their son, Jesse. Accompanied by his sister Jane, he trailed for miles around the countryside...

Under President Trump, well enter an age of global confrontation | Timothy Garton Ash

A narcissistic bully will face nationalist leaders just as dangerous. Prepare for a direct clash with China

Donald Trumps arrival in the White House reflects a wider phenomenon: a new era of nationalism. He joins Vladimir Putin of Russia, Narendra Modi of India, Xi Jinping of China, Recep Tayyip Erdoan of Turkey and a score of other nationalist leaders around the globe.

While it might be unfair to describe Theresa May as a nationalist, her announcement that shes going for ahard Brexit reflects the pressure of English nationalism on the British right, and will encourage the nationalism of others. Of course, eras of nationalism are nothing new. But precisely because we have experienced them before, we know that they often start with high hopes and end in tears.

For now, the nationalists are giving one another the Trumpian thumbs-up across the seas. Paul Nuttall, the Ukip leader, says he is massively excited by the advent of President Trump, who in turn tells Michael Gove in the Times that he thinks Brexit is going to end up being a great thing. In a photograph that should become notorious, the Brexiteer Gove gives Trump a sycophantic thumbs-up, with a curiously goofy expression on his face, making him look like a teenage Star Trek fan who has caught 10 seconds with Patrick Stewart. The vice-president of Frances Front National responded to Mays Brexit speech by declaring: French independence soon. And so it goes on.

This world of mutually reinforcing nationalisms is also one in which both the relative power and the internal coherence of the west are being eroded from both sides of the Atlantic. The deterrent effect of the United States Nato security guarantee to Europe is being undermined from Washington itself.

Meanwhile, we have had the amazing spectacle of the leaders of Russia, Turkey and Iran getting together to make a cynical deal over Syria. Erdoan-supporting Turkish commentators revelled in the fact that neither the US nor Europe was even at the table.

Looking at the photograph of the three leaders shaking hands, I was reminded of DavidLows famous cartoon of Hitler and Stalin greeting each other in September 1939, raising their caps and making courteous bows to each other over the body of a dead soldier, with Hitler saying, The scum of the Earth, I believe? and Stalin, The bloody assassin of the workers, Ipresume?

To be sure, whenever you so much as mention Hitler theres an instant risk of hyperbole. The warp and woof of interdependence and liberal international order is significantly thicker now than it was, going into the 1930s. Thats why the Leninist nationalist Xi Jinping spoke at Davos as a defender of an open, globalised international economy. He knows that his own countrys economic performance, and therefore the stability of his regime, depends on it.

The way in which the representatives of these countries talk about international relations is in many ways more reminiscent of the 19th-century world of sovereign great powers pursuing their own national interests. Im writing this column in India, and came across some recent remarks made by Indias foreign secretary, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, that illustrate this perfectly. Faced with the prospect of Trumps America cosying up to Putins Russia, he observed: With Russia, Indias relationship has actually grown very substantially in the last two years, as has the bonding between our leaders. An improvement in US-Russia ties is, therefore, not against Indian interests. That is the sober, realpolitik kind of nationalism.

But by their very nature, nationalisms are likely to clash sooner or later. Thus Mays insistence that Britain will leave Europes single market puts her on a collision course with Scottish nationalists, who have a referendum mandate for saying that Scotland wants to remain in the EU and certainly in the single market. Moreover, 21st-century nationalisms exist in a high-pressure ecosystem of 24/7 media coverage and public scrutiny that would have appalled Bismarck, Disraeli and the tsar of Russia. Even authoritarian rulers such as Putin and Xi are riding the tiger.

By far the most serious of these potential clashes is that between China and the US. In his confirmation hearing, Trumps new secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, compared Chinas programme of island-building in the South China Sea to Russias annexation of Crimea, and said the new administration would tell Beijing: Your access to those islands is not going to be allowed.

Meanwhile, in India the commander of the US Pacific command, Admiral Harry Harris, warns: India should be concerned about the increasing Chinese influence in the region. If you believe that there is only finite influence, then whatever influence China has means that influence India does not have. A zero-sum game, then.

Now this is partly just the familiar dance of great powers competing for influence with each other and with third parties. But the risk of an accidental naval or air confrontation somewhere in the South or East China seas is far from negligible. And then the question would become: do Trump and Xi have the wisdom, statecraft, sound advice and, not least, domestic political elbow room to step back from the brink?

This is where Trumps irascible, bullying, narcissistic character could be such a liability. On the other side, the personally much steadier Xi has staked so much of his legitimacy as core leader of Chinas party-state on his China dream (ie making China great again) that he would be under pressure not to back down. Whether the cause is psychological, political or both, so-called strong men often feel they cant afford to show weakness.

No, Im not predicting the third world war. But a 21st-century variant of the Cuban missile crisis? Entirely possible. So lets have no illusions. Up on the magic mountain in Davos, Trumps smooth-talking mouthpiece Anthony Scaramucci tries to persuade us that everything is going to be fine. He says the path to globalism for the world is through the American worker (unpick that if you can), and that Trumps disruptive change is going to be a positive thing in [our] lives.

Dont be fooled; dont be Scaramuccied. We are in for a dangerous, rough ride over the next few years, and wed better be ready for it.

DavidLowe published How Nottingham celebrated Coronation Day - Post readers' memories

HANDS up if you watched the Coronation on a nine-inch TV? You were in good company if you did because televisions in 1953 were pretty primitive by today's standards.The nine-inch model was more common than the 12-inch. Both were expensive, prone to breakdowns and to annoying on-screen interference.The 140 pupils of South County School, West Bridgford were invited to watch on the school TV. But because the screen was so small, they had to view in batches.Elsewhere, all around the country, people...

DavidLowe published Take a look at Carlton through the ages

With the aid of images from Picturethepast, we turn the spotlight on Carlton. DAVID LOWE reports.Travelling along the main roads into Carlton, it's hard to imagine that this congested urban environment was once a Viking settlement or that an open brook ran down the main street until 1894.At the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, Carlton was part of Sherwood Forest. In 1349, the Black Death devastated the area and it became a target for an infamous group of outlaws called the Coterel gang.In...

Eighty years ago, the murder of a young Newark girl, Mona Tinsley, altered the course of justice. When her killer was sentenced to death after his trial at Nottingham in 1937, the case helped change the age-old principle that a murder could not be proved without a body. DAVID LOWE reportsThe disappearance of Mona Tinsley, a slight but sprightly 10-year-old Newark girl, triggered one of the biggest searches in British police history.She did not come home from her Newark school on Tuesday, January...
