Ive not heard him talk about work, I know he said he does some voluntary work but does he actually pay his way in society ?
Does science have a job ?

He's probably a single mother as well.

For goodness sake this has been asked so many times in the last few weeks. Don't you normally come on to this forum?

LMAO
Yes and I bet he got pregnant at 14 just so he could get a council flat too
"Some people haven't got a job, they don't have enough money to live on so they receive benefit. Only a fan of Mein Kampf would be opposed to that."
What has this response got to do with the quite reasonable question that was originally asked? I hate scum like Luxemburg.
Some people have a job that they don't declare to the benefit people or the tax office, or their economic activity is illegal or they don't have enough money to live on because they can't be arsed to do anything except lie in bed, so they receive benefit, despite not being entitled to it.
I would happily put all such people in weighted sacks and drop them into the North Sea

Don't some of these responses just about sum it up, hurl as much abuse at Derek and other housemates as you want but question something about Science's background and you get abuse.
It is obvious that Science has worked at some point since he left school, so I don't like the insinuation that he can't be a***d to work, as it is a stereotype I find distasteful!
It is also obvious that Science has done alot of voluntary work for his community, and that is very commendable considering it isn't paid and he still only gets a meagre amount to live on a week.
There is also substantial reasons to believe that businesses that illegally don't declare some or alot of their earnings so it isn't taxed, costs the taxpayer more than people who are living on benefits do!

Good points here. I would also add that if someone really doesn't want to work, I for one can't bring myself to begrudge them the measly forty quid a week they are getting. If you're happy to live below the poverty line so as not to have to slog your guts out in a call centre for five quid an hour, good luck to you. I've done enough horrific jobs to be able to fully understand why someone with no prospects beyond answering phones would decide not to bother, quite frankly.

TBH Jilly I find the insinuations about Science, work and benefits just as distasteful as some of the stuff I've happened to come across regarding Derek!

In what way ?
Do you mean does he pay Income Tax and NI contributions ?
Do you mean does he do voluntary work and help within his community ?
What consitutes 'paying your way in society' in your eyes ?
