Hi Colin


Your mother should have received a leaflet with her request to serve on the jury. This should clearly state:

"You are qualified for jury service if:

? you will be at least 18 years old, and under 70 years old, on the day that you

start your jury service; and

? you are registered as a parliamentary or local government elector; and

? you have lived in the United Kingdom, or the Channel Islands or the Isle of

Man for any period of at least 5 years since you were 13 years old."

within the 'Are you qualified for Jury Service' section.


Your mother will need to notify the Jury Central Summoning Bureau that she is over 70 - Contact details can be found on the jury summons.

Sorry to ask but why is she so worried?

I have lived in my flat 26 years and never been asked. And I'd consider it a duty.

If I appear naive I apologise but if she has her faculties and - indeed - if she does fit the age criteria I would have thought her experience of life would be useful in coming to a decision as to whether to hang the scrote or not...

It's only really affordable to do it if your employer still pays you! It's a great idea having people from all walks of life but the "compensation" payable for loss of earnings really isn't realistic living in London.


I was called last year and wouldn't have been able to pay my council tax and bills on the "compensation" let alone the London mandatory huge mortgage!

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
