abstract:Paul Steven Dobson MC was the first member of the British Armed Forces below Warrant Officer rank to be awarded the Military Cross after the abolition of the Military Medal in 1993 and the extension of the Military Cross to all ranks.
The reason for the Patels' fury can be found in an analysis of the impact on the newspaper industry produced by PaulDobson, a retailing professor at Loughborough University, on behalf of the Newspaper Publishers' Association.
But Mr Livingstone's call for Mr Dobson to stand down was backed by Newport West MP Paul Flynn, who said Mr Dobson had failed to win a "genuine victory" in the nomination contest.
