reading between the lines what we seem to have is a lot of people who feel they are far to good to even consider doing something for the community.

I have no intention of ever doing it, whether I'm summoned or not.
You believe that people can only be motivated by threats of punishment. I am glad I don't have to live in your head.Comment

A modest proposal
It's one thing to talk about Public Duty but the costs of taking time off for Jury Service can easily run into the tens of thousands of pounds - it's just not reasonable to expect someone to take that sort of a hit. The compensation offered for loss of earnings is desultory.
My proposal would be that anyone suffering loss of earnings for performing their "duty" should be able to withold tax until the money has been recovered (based on something like the average of the last two years' accounts).
Seems fair to me.Comment
