That hardly feels like "dictatorship" unless you already believe that the UK is a legally corrupt state - i.e. that the people in prison should not be there because the law is unjust.
And if juries feel the law is unjust, they're free to ignore any compulsion to convict. It takes just 3 dissenters, and there is no conviction.
