Roger Payne, Harpenden + ShareThere are some services and utilities that are too important to be in private hands, energy, health, education amongst them.

Phillipa Partington, BedfordCustomer choice in the provision of essential utilities makes no sense. Nationalisation of these industries serves the people of the country well.
-
Wilfred John Barker, WigtonRe-nationalise and invest profits instead of paying out to shareholders.
-
Graham Pascall, MilngavieIt’s past time to roll back the Thatcherite privatisations which did nothing but sow confusion as to what is the supposed best deal. And that’s the least of it.
-
Tom Organ, BristolEveryone who remembers the privatisation of utilities foresaw this happening. Re-nationalise now without compensation.
-
Richard Walthew, DunsThe power companies’ directors and shareholders are just vultures feasting on the misery of people with no choice.

Makes me so angry. While we are not on a meter, we cannot have a direct debit since I pay this particular bill(my husband pays others) and I'm self-employed so I never know how much I will have at the end of the month in my account (sometimes my husband pays this one as well). Because of this, we pay over the odds too for our utilities. It's not fair.
Its never made sense. You get charged more for paying them up-front, vs everyone else who pays less for owing them money? Surely if you're going to charge people different based on pre-payment vs bills, it should be the other way around to reward people who you are making interest off?
