I think it is wrong that services that are virtually human rights are there for the purpose of making money.

Stefan Wright, Huddersfield

Everyone who remembers the privatisation of utilities foresaw this happening. Re-nationalise now without compensation.

Tom Organ, Bristol

Utilities belong to the people.

Jerry Scales, Aylesbury

People die of cold every year while profiteers pocket bonuses.

Peter Greenwood, Darlington

All essential services should be community assets, managed to benefit the people and not financially punish them.

Graham Towler, Northampton

Stop the robbery. Give us back our power.

Keith Mitchell, Dunfermline

Let’s get rid of the shareholders.

Joan Harrison, St Albans

All the fuel companies are rogues.

Maria Nelson, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

I’m 100% behind you on this. It’s time to favour people rather than profits. We need to re-nationalise all utilities and public transport.

Philip Joyce, Dundee

Our heating is our biggest cost nowadays.

Glynis Marshall, Nottingham

The huge growth in profit taken by the Big Six over the last four years – from

Jane Lowry, Falmouth

It makes sense for ‘natural monopoly’ industries, providing necessities like energy, to be in public hands. Profits directly invested into insulating homes.

Rosie Leach, Machynlleth

It’s time to end the experiment! Energy supply is too important to be left in the hands of the private sector!

Peter Whitehead, Gilberdyke, East Yorkshire

Return to public ownership for the people’s benefit.

Paul Geraghty, Warrington

Thatcher’s legacy needs to be addressed.

Dario Giudici

Return energy to public ownership.

Privatisation has been bad for everybody apart from the very rich. The country has gone to the dogs since things were privatised.

Ken Horn, Swadlincote

Fuel should be at cost and not be for profit.

Claire Scott, Bideford

This issue is far too important to be left to multinationals who put profit before people and don’t care about driving customers into poverty and despair.

Richard Bunting, Dover

We are being ripped off by these companies. Let’s disband them now and take back ownership.

Sue Underwood, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

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

Kimaya Crolla-Younger, London

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

Mark Arnold, Southend-on-Sea

Re-nationalise.

Paul Scotter, Norwich

It’s about time someone made the essential energy we all need a non-profit deal and made it affordable for all.

Philip Marchant, Llandysul

When people are having to decide between heating and eating what does that say about modern day Britain? The more shareholders get the more they want. Greedy people.

Anita Hambly, Northamptonshire

It is obscene for anyone (including the government with VAT) and especially foreigners to make money from the sale of domestic fuel. Privatisation is essential.

Ian Grant, Sunderland

All profit to be re-invested in the service.

Brian Billingham, Leeds

Re-nationalise all the stuff that once belonged to us now.
