It appears low standards (of whatever flavour) are not the sole preserve of the RAFAT.
Did she rape, grope, verbally harass anyone? I couldn't care less that the Reds may or may not love themselves; use 'pals' favour' to select new members; go golfing and karting; get pissed often and the rest. Shagging a junior rank, not so much.
