FL asked:
Were there a 'PC approved' answer to Q3?
Not really. Due to changes in society's tolerance of homosexuality, which at that time did not include the Armed Forces, applicants were reminded of this and it was their reaction to this position which was required. Some answers would have shocked Himmler, but more often it was "I'm not interested in what they do, but it's not for me". Although one wag did actually say "I don't mind lesbians, provided I can watch!" - no doubt having been briefed by existing ULAS students.......
It wasn't really a problem, but it was a mandatory interview question during my QFI time. All changed on 'Pink Wednesday' though.
'Trouble with Plod' was more a case of assessing honesty - unless chummy had
really been up to no good in his/her earlier days.
