Nationalisation is for the benefit of the vast majority of the British people.

Elizabeth Burling, Barnet

I’m 100% behind you.

Eric Firth, Dewsbury

We, the people, should benefit from the basic right of fuel supply at a cheap price, not line the pockets of the already rich while others freeze to death.

Karen Stinton, Cardigan

Privatisation instead of state monopoly was meant to lead to competition and lower prices for consumers. This hasn’t happened and rich bosses make even more profit.

Patricia Borlenghi, Manningtree

All public services and necessities of life should belong to the people not profit-hungry corporations intent on putting profit before people.

Jason Fawley, Doncaster

I am fully in favour of re-nationalising the power industry and the railways.

Paul Ellerington, Bedford

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

Brian Hoey, Houghton-le-Spring

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.

Lynne Campbell, Co. Durham

I totally agree with your aims.

Ted Ryder, Mansfield

Utility companies are cash cows for foreign equity funds. Frankly, it’s mad.

Gary Brooke, Manchester

Give us our utilities back now.

Col Farrell, Liverpool

Utilities should not be for profit but for the people.

Marylyn Edwards, Hastings

Energy is crucial to a country and its population, so why let foreign companies make a profit out of it and aid their economies to compete unfairly with the UK?

John Cook, Llanybydder

Essential services should be publicly owned and not a business driven by profit.

Janet Mobbs, Stockport

It should never have happened in the first place. It just cost us all a lot of money. And for what?

Brian Cann, Yeovil

Give us back our freedom that our parents fought for and stop ripping us off.

Susan Aldrich, Filey

Keep up the good work. We are on an electric key meter. Not many companies do it so it makes it hard to change.

Moira Smith, Kent

Well done to our various governments of the last 30 years for screwing us all over and leaving themselves looked after. For shame, give us all a chance to live.

Joseph Yhap, London

I could not agree with anything more.

Mike Wilce, Southampton

This is a strong possibility if we all stick together.

Ollie Abdullah, Essex

Public utilities should never be in private hands. Simple.

Alec Rivers, Folkestone

Something must be done. They are all raking in extreme profits from us poorer people.

Nigel Rogers, Chester

It is worth trying, despite the hopelessness we all feel on these issues. See recent reports on how Iceland has resisted the power of banks and multinational corporations.

Dorothy Nelson, St Austell

Re-nationalise all power and water companies now.

Len White, Coventry

Renationalise the energy utilities please.

Gaby Weiner, Lewes East Sussex

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

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

Rob Seed, Worcester

Our energy needs to be renewable and prices need to be fairer for all.

Laura Long, Leeds

Prices increase every year and service standards drop. We need to reverse this trend for a fairer Britain.

Margaret Blackman, St Albans

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

Jenny Embleton, Brighton
