Profit from privatisation is given to shareholders whereas profits from nationalisation is re-invested to improve the system. Government has ultimate control, not fat cats.

Karl Snowdon, Gateshead

This is very important – do not ignore the voices of your people.

Simon Roberts, London

Certain commodities should be owned by the people, for the people. Energy, public transport, water.

David Cunliffe, St Helens

Energy supplies and infrastructure are produced by the people. They should be owned by the people.

Paul Mclean, Leeds

End this disastrous privatisation.

John Howe, Rotherham

Public services for people not profit.

Laurie Walmsley,

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

We’ve had enough of prices so high and having to have a house that is cold.

Lavern Wilson, Mansfield

The aim to privatise our natural emerging monopolies would only end in disaster. There is no competition on energy provision and it’s a huge waste of resources.

Callum Thomas, Brighton

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

Noel Smith, Fareham

We’re told we have fundamental human rights in this country but do they actually mean anything when people are freezing to death in their own homes?

Callum Gill, London

Utilities are basic necessities and should be run for the benefit of the public, not shareholders.

John Evans, Billericay

I support the campaign for a nationally owned energy service.

Steve Hammersley, Leek

Let’s take utilities back. They’re not for making a few people wealthy.

Sue Rowies, St Ives

Our privatised utilities are a joke. The very nature of this fragmented system has the effect of pushing up costs and the evidence of anti-competitive pricing is obvious.

Guy Falkenau, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

All profit to be re-invested in the service.

Brian Billingham, Leeds

Privatisation has conclusively failed. It’s time to rethink.

David Pointer, St Ives

Power for the people.

Colin Keatley, Plymouth

Because energy is too important to be left to the spivs.

Dave Waite, Lincoln

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

It is time to bring them back into state hands for the good of the many not a few shareholders

Len Smith, Shirebrook

Stop the robbery. Give us back our power.

Keith Mitchell, Dunfermline

The present system is inefficient and screws the consumer. It’s time for a change.

David Gutteridge, Chesterfield

Private profit should never have been put before public service.

Clive Rutter, Bristol

Even the Victorians had the sense to understand that utilities so vital should not be private.

Hilary Lowson, Bathgate

Privatization of energy resources and transport is a disgrace.

Lia Martinucci, Richmond, North Yorkshire

The only way to stop the profiteering rip-off that is perpetrated by the private utility companies is to bring back all of them under the public wing.

Johnathan Mark Sharpe-Smith, Great Driffield

It should never have been sold off in the first place. It’s a basic need which should be provided for the people by the people.

Alison Belbin, Birmingham

Privatisation drives up prices and drives down quality.

Jennie Cummings-Knight, Cromer
