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

Our utilities should be in public ownership. They can be run well on a not-for-profit basis. We are being exploited by ideologically driven policies.

Mark Wilcox, Holmfirth

Give us our power back and allow us the means to produce our own energy on a community basis without the political constraints of large corporations.

Tom Rickman, Penzance

I support the dream but has anyone any idea of the cost of re-nationalising?

Rob Seed, Worcester

Give the people their utilities back. They’re too important for the privateers to own.

Michael Burt, Plymouth

The fact that the privatised energy companies can threaten the UK with blackouts has made the need for nationalisation more urgent.

Diane Tsavalos, Liverpool

I was forced to debilitating depression and suicide by N-power’s false billing. My MP wrote to Voker Beckers and we have no reply a year on.

Garry Clarkson, Leeds

Returning power ownership and production to the British people is the only way to guarantee cost and infrastructure control. Give power back to the people.

Tim Armstrong-Taylor, Kimpton

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

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

Lorna Bramley, Penicuik

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

Something as essential as power generation should not be in the hands of people whose only interest is in short term shareholder gain.

Mike Higgins, Minsterley

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

The bullies at the Big Six must be stood up to.

Gavin Sibthorpe, London

When a company is nationalised, any profits can come back to the people.

Penny Lomas, Leeds

Start with the railways, then re-nationalise gas, water and electricity. Hands off the Royal Mail too!

Iain Logan, Liverpool

Light and heat are basic human needs and profits should not be made from their provision.

Brian Hoey, Houghton-le-Spring

Let the voices of the people be heard.

Julian Bell, West Molesey

Time for re-nationalisation of the energy industry. Consumers should come first, not a bunch of faceless shareholders who put their own profit first.

John Reilly, Glasgow

Energy, rail and health are strategic resources that should be government controlled. We’ve already got health, so there are two to go.

Jim Roche, Leeds

Public ownership is the only viable basis on which energy and public transport can be planned and developed in an integrated way, to combat climate change.

Liam McDill, Sandwick

Profits from utility, bus and rail companies should be ploughed back into infrastructure, not shareholders” pockets.

Jeremy Hoyte, Oswestry

They should never have been split up.

Susan Reineck, York

When the Tory government privatised utilities, they did not plan it out. It is a failed experiment which has only succeeded in making the man in the street suffer.

Paul Pearson, Shrewsbury

This is pure Conservative ideology that has driven this incorrect policy, which no other country of note agrees with.

Bill Hunter, Hartlepool

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

Richard Walthew, Duns

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

Paul Clarke, Glasgow

Nothing good ever came from privatisation.

Rebecca Lush Blum, Southampton

Energy for public good not private profit.

Brian Smith, Stockton Brook

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
