    Can you swear in your answer if it is a direct quotation from your text? I know it is seriously frowned upon in paper 1...

    Yes you can.
    For example "Fcuk the Pope" from Longley is fine. However remember that every student is going to remember it!!

    well there are quite a few swear words in Billy Elliot for the comparative aswell as Longley and I plan on using a few quotes so I hope you can!

    "Fúck the pope", "Giv'em one for the Shankill" and Bástard son are all fine because they are used in the actual texts
