People who have a physical disability or learning disability and the elderly are most at risk with all the high charges.

Dorcas Munday, Wellingborough

I’m fed up with being milked to pay for energy bosses’ bonuses. After being caught price fixing too. It’s about time the profits were re-invested in the system.

Chris Ford, London

I’d rather subsidise my fellow citizens than a bunch of fat cats.

John Hann, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Privatisation wouldn’t have been so bad if the prices hadn’t been driven up so far so fast and the services degraded. Shareholders and businessmen are all greedy.

Sandra Humphries, Southsea

Government approved robbery of the population for the benefit of the few.

Gordon Stringer, Potters Bar

I could not agree with anything more.

Mike Wilce, Southampton

Energy for public good not private profit.

Brian Smith, Stockton Brook

With this bunch of bully-boys in power, the campaign for re-nationalisation based on cold hard numbers, highlighting how we’ve lost out is needed more than ever.

Peter Burns, Newport

The utilities should never have been privatised. Reverse the bad decision now.

Jenny Embleton, Brighton

Privatised energy is not serving the consumer; only the energy companies and their shareholders. Nationalise energy now.

Chuck Elliot, Sheffield

All energy should be state owned.

Kenneth Miller, Leeds

Stop extortionate bills. Also stop extortionate estimates that neither reflect the consumption of energy or make clear that they are only estimates.

Sam Roberts, Liverpool

Give us decently priced fuels.

Sheilagh Merrett, Windlesham

Power back to the people in a not-for-profit company.

Philip Todd, Stokesley

Enough is enough with no pay rises and the energy companies just milking us. It’s time that fuel came back into public ownership.

Nigel Penn, Buxton

Re–nationalise now.

Darrin Armstrong, Stevenage

All vital public services such as energy, water, transport, postal services, education and health have no place being run for profit by tax-dodging multinationals.

Ken Brodigan

Whatever excuses they come up with, its a cartel and that’s illegal.

Susan Shaw, Barnsley

Everyone needs to stand together and join us in rolling back the control of market forces.

Mark Arnold, Southend-on-Sea

Re-nationalise the energy and power industries and make government answerable to the people.

Robert Rudge, Glaston, Rutland

Please return the gas and electricity industry to the same great institution which it used to be.

Stephen Munton, Birmingham

Profit is not a dirty word – all businesses need it to survive, but what we have with the energy companies is pure unvarnished greed.

David John Briggs, Southend-on-Sea

Privatisation has become a nightmare from which we would like to wake up.

Linda Lee, Swindon

Public ownership can be local and democratic. It does not have to be 1940s style state bureaucracy.

John Tilley, Kingston upon Thames

Give us back our power.

Jes Fernie, Colchester

The power companies’ directors and shareholders are just vultures feasting on the misery of people with no choice.

Richard Walthew, Duns

Before the sell-off there were 60million shareholders, each with one equal share and equal rights. Now the many pay the few, with no say, rights or choice. Our time has come.

Jon Crinks, Liskeard

Energy generation should not be subject to the profit motive.

Kate Martinson, Southampton

It’s a disgrace – pure greed. We need to have energy re-nationalised.

Vi Dunning, Thornton Cleveleys

To be warm is a basic human right, like a roof over your head – and education and health care.

Scilla Allen, Shoreham-by-Sea
