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

Nigel Rogers, Chester

You’ve had your time fat cats.

William Hunt, Southport

private companies are more concerned about profits for shareholders than providing a service. This is inevitable if they want to attract investors.

Barbara Brogan, Letchworth

All public utilities should be in public (not private) hands.

Stephen Foster, Leicester

Is it a service for the people to keep warm this winter or is it a business to make the profits bigger. If everyone stopped payment for one month they’d fail big time.

Stuart Wooldridge, Pontefract

We need affordable, sustainable, clean energy, for the common good, not private profit.

Brian Smith, Stockton Brook

Restore security and sovereignty by restoring energy, utilities and transport to public ownership.

Simon Silvie, Barrow-in-Furness

Bring back nationalised power for the people of Britain and stop these greedy giants lining their pockets.

Sue Stacey, Stockport

All makes sense to me. Do it now.

Matt Haskins, London

Everyone needs energy and at a cost that protects and enhances life, rather than simply unearned dividend payments which are used to make rich people even richer.

George Davies, Darwen

Public utilities should never have been privatised. The Big Six are becoming more expensive because they are not exploiting renewables.

Louis Loizou, Brighton

Thatcher’s legacy needs to be addressed.

Dario Giudici

It can never be right or in the best interests of the many to have power in private hands. If the state runs it correctly it could use the profits for better services.

Noel Symonds, Redhill

The sooner the energy companies are re-nationalised the better it will be for the customers.

Michael Gorbold, Cheshunt

The family silver has been sold. Now most of us have to suffer the consequences, apparently. Still, the front bench millionaires are happy, along with their city friends.

Lenard Hughes, Hitchin

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

Time to draw the line in the sand methinks.

Paul Burgess, Torquay

All this tinkering around the edges of a corrupt system and empty threats to indifferent power companies is meaningless. Re-nationalise now.

Mark Dickson, Hebden Bridge

Stop making a profit from you own people.

Mark Whittaker, Nottinghamshire

Let’s pull the plug on the fat cats.

Roger Allen, London

Money from our electricity bills should be for infrastructure replacement and not for lining bosses’ and shareholders’ pockets. Re-nationalise as soon as possible.

Dennis Pocock, Woking

Only public ownership will deliver a service for the people, not profits for shareholders.

Martin Cummins, Edinburgh

All the utility privatisations were a complete disaster for the consumer and the generating industry itself. It’s time to admit it. Get rid of these boards of directors.

John Withill, Leeds

I love this campaign. It’s time to smash the myth that privatisation is good for consumers.

Damien Clarkson, London

No compensation for the shareholders who got the shares at a bargain price.

David Robinson, Sheffield

It’s a disgrace – pure greed. We need to have energy re-nationalised.

Vi Dunning, Thornton Cleveleys

Re-nationalise and rationalise the energy sector. As long as companies can make a profit exploiting natural resources they will continue to do so.

Julia Callow, Bournemouth

Let’s get back to pre-Thatcher era when we the people owned and reaped the benefits of public ownership. It’s only right.

Patricia Bull, Lewes

Tory MPs are only concerned with making the rich richer at the expense of the poor. Equality? No.

Brian Stephens, Sunderland

Utilities should not be for profit but for the people.

Marylyn Edwards, Hastings
