Yes, nationalisation would be great. The prices are crazy at the moment.

It’s time to acknowledge that some industries should be run for the benefit of people, not profit.

Having just six energy companies, the market place is madness and allowing them to make huge profits from working-class families should not be allowed.

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

A 21st Century smart organisation, lean, agile, co-operative and sociocratic – sharp and efficient. Replace customer-hostile with customer-centred.

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

All have the right to have access to essentials for life, which includes an energy supply, regardless of ability to pay.

Time to get rid of the energy racketeers.

It should be back under one ownership, like it used to be. British gas is now owned by the French.

Why do people not shift away from the Big Six? If everyone did they’d soon think again about their prices.

Good idea. As it would cost, why not set up a publicly owned company, cut the other’s prices and they will soon cease trading?

We need services which operate for the benefit of the public, and the ability to re-invest money without losing it to shareholders.

No profit should be taken from providing people with essential services.

Let private investment take the risk for HS2 and use the capital to re-create a national energy network.

Utilities are too important to the public to be run at their expense for private profit.

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

These energy companies are like a mafia, using the consumer as a cash cow. The Government doesn’t want to do anything to stop it because half the MPs are shareholders.

Tell Sid he’s a thief.

Basic utilities that underpin the infrastructure of a nation should never be in the hands of private, often foreign, businesses.

Let’s pull the plug on the fat cats.

Gas and electricity is a ‘must commodity’ for everyone and should be re-nationalised asap, provided they are managed by competent experts in the respective fields.

It’s time we stopped treating our neighbours as competitors, and for politicians playing the electorate off against each other. Let’s come together for the common good.

If we are all in this together then why aren’t the profits to shareholders falling?

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

De-rail the current gravy train. Too many bosses and not enough productive staff.

We were conned by the Conservatives. Profiteering at public expense by these cartels is evident. We must have not-for-profit railways and all utilities.

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

We need to re-think how our power is produced, by developing local power production rather than the out-dated transportation of power across the country by pylons.

Re-nationalise and invest profits instead of paying out to shareholders.

Energy is a public resource. Surely it makes sense that its production and distribution is managed for the public good, not massive profit for a tiny minority of people.
