Energy companies should be brought to task.

Rita Thirsk, Beverley

Privatization of energy resources and transport is a disgrace.

Lia Martinucci, Richmond, North Yorkshire

I really wish you good luck in this campaign, because everything in the UK is being privatised.

Matthew Saunders, Barnet

Let’s get this job done.

Bill Smickersgill, Leeds

It’s time to turn back the tide. Private is not always best. Let’s have more pride in civic institutions.

Chris Madeley, Abergavenny

Our country should be run by the majority vote of the people not the MPs and fat cats. We are the ones who pay their wages.

Ryan Curtis, Bristol

Everybody needs it, it’s essential and should not be run by firms from outside the UK who are only interested in making money.

Sheila Harrison, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Our energy supply is fundamental to our society and should be owned by our society.

John Hoyle, Kettering

Supporting social ideals with collective responsibility.

Mark Atkinson, Hastings

Sounds good to me.

Jane Taylor, Doncaster

It’s time that the people had control of these companies and paid fair prices, instead of being ripped off for huge profits and making poorer people suffer.

Lynda Rea, Ware

It’s time for action. People need heat and light to survive.

Paul Clarke, Glasgow

Great campaign. How to achieve it needs to be thought through carefully, but there has to be a better way of doing these things than we have at present. More imagination.

John Lee, Cupar

Rip-off utilities companies need sorting out. People before profit.

Tony Wathen, Sutton

Only public ownership will deliver a service for the people, not profits for shareholders.

Martin Cummins, Edinburgh

Something as essential as our energy should not be in private hands.

Leigh Chorlton, Edinburgh

Once again, another classic example of how privatisation doesn’t work. The government will see this country on its knees just so they don’t have to lose face.

Ben Gladwish, Walsall

Is it a service for the people to keep warm this winter or is it a business to make the profits bigger. If everyone stopped payment for one month they’d fail big time.

Stuart Wooldridge, Pontefract

We need to get back to a point where basics such as heat and light are affordable to all. People before profit.

Stephen Hurrel, Glasgow

You know it makes sense.

Antony Silson, Keighley

Access to power is a basic human right and one that needs to be affordable for all.

Kimaya Crolla-Younger, London

I am not against privatisation but am sick of people making so much profit from the public.

Sheila Johnson, Rushden

Re-nationalisation is the only rational path to follow. Our power is going to capitalists abroad.

Rose Kay, Berwick-on-Tweed

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

You know it is fair.

Susanna Rance, Plymouth

I am awake. For too long now have my eyes been shut to the abuses and corruption that is an endemic rot through the very fabric of society. I say viva la revolution.

Christian Baker, Todmorden

I am tired of the energy companies making profits from the poorest in society.

Mag McNally, London

Without a doubt we need to re-nationalise power companies, as rampant free-market economics is causing misery for the majority.

Stephen Michael, Horley

Privatisation equals prices up, service down, profits to investment bankers.

Pete Heskett, London

The recent price increases by the major energy companies prey on the most vulnerable members of society solely to boost already record high profits.

Gerald Halligan, Edinburgh
