Well said DTA.
I was with a friend at a small claims court hearing not long ago and had the opportunity to pop into a number of crown court sittings - to look at the jurors it was clear something was amiss - this was clearly not a representative sample of the British public - morons wearing baseball caps the wrong way round, football shirts, fat women, long-haired blokes - I'm told it's really easy to get out of jury service if you're any kind of productive worker!
Which just leaves the dross. And they call it justice!
