How to get out of Jury duty...

[Pogle]

I don't think you can ever volunteer for jury service. It's just a random selection from the electoral register.

yep - otherwise can you imagine the sort of folk who would volunteer for it .

I've never been called and never will

Stick two pencils in your nostrils, put your underpants on your head and say 'wibble'.

Pop the summons back in the post marked return to sender / not at this address.
Job done.

The postman will grass you up - I tried to do it with a tax bill years ago. B@stard postie told them I was fibbing.

Does being a member of the BNP get you out of jury service?

Possibly, as well as Security Cleared government contracts.

Nope, most forms of bigots are allowed to sit on a Jury. They even let the police sit on them.

how to REALLY get out of it

Okay I shall say this only once:

Option 1:
Jury Nullification
They hate this, and if you state to the Judge that you will be exercising this right and telling all the other Jurors and the lawyers for boths sides that you will be doing so, they will kick you off straight away. Tell the Judge you will do this no matter what he says as it is yoru right.

Option 2:
This may only work in the states but over there they ask you a question:
"Have you ever fallen over for no reason?" And if you say Yes you in.

But if you say No becuase of course everyone falls over for some reason (even if they do not know that reason) then your out as both sides see you as someone who is not swayed by emotion, but cold hard facts. Lawyers don't like this. So, both sides will kick you off
