Mark Lansbury, NewchurchAll so called profits can be re-invested back into energy generation to meet people’s need rather than corporate greed.
Colin Tarrant, DerbyIt’s time to stop rich friends of the government ripping us off. Rail, water, gas, electricity and now the mail too.
Dorothy Nelson, St AustellIt 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.
John Bramhall, NewburyThe companies were sold off cheaply and no investment has been made by them since privatisation. They now want to make the consumers pay for under-investment.
Margaret Graham, EdinburghEnough of these cartels. They do nothing for our country.
Cristian Gurran, RotherhamFree market capitalism is not the best way for everything and is certainly not the optimal philosophy for providing essential services to a country’s population.
Tim McDowall, LivingstonBasic utilities that underpin the infrastructure of a nation should never be in the hands of private, often foreign, businesses.
Joseph Yhap, LondonWell 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.
Andrew Wilkes, CardiffPower to the people.
Dario GiudiciThatcher’s legacy needs to be addressed.
Brian Bailey, ManchesterWhy do we need to be held to ransom by the power companies? Price increases mean more shareholder dividends. Return them to public ownership.
Diane Tsavalos, LiverpoolThe fact that the privatised energy companies can threaten the UK with blackouts has made the need for nationalisation more urgent.
Margaret Blackman, St AlbansPrices increase every year and service standards drop. We need to reverse this trend for a fairer Britain.
Mark Marriott, NottinghamWe need a power company that the country owns not companies run by profiteers.
Laura Long, LeedsOur energy needs to be renewable and prices need to be fairer for all.
Mary Jackson, DoncasterRe-nationalise all public utilities.
Robert McArdle, CoventryFull nationalisation of all the utilities is the only way to end the rip-off.
John Malcolm, MayfieldThe utilities were sold off far too cheaply.
Chris Madeley, AbergavennyIt’s time to turn back the tide. Private is not always best. Let’s have more pride in civic institutions.
Andrew Rogers, GrimsbyWe are the majority, ordinary working people reduced to living hand to mouth. This is the reality.
Gary Brooke, ManchesterUtility companies are cash cows for foreign equity funds. Frankly, it’s mad.
Howard Badder, IlkestonStop the rip-off.
Steve Waldenberg, LeedsGood idea. As it would cost, why not set up a publicly owned company, cut the other’s prices and they will soon cease trading?
Dennis Pocock, WokingMoney from our electricity bills should be for infrastructure replacement and not for lining bosses’ and shareholders’ pockets. Re-nationalise as soon as possible.
Michael Burt, PlymouthGive the people their utilities back. They’re too important for the privateers to own.
Ryan Curtis, BristolOur country should be run by the majority vote of the people not the MPs and fat cats. We are the ones who pay their wages.
Alison Belbin, BirminghamIt 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.
John Tyrrell, BirminghamAll have the right to have access to essentials for life, which includes an energy supply, regardless of ability to pay.
Martyn Wilson, FarnboroughI just want a reliable, fair, publicly-owned utility, not a never-ending cycle of chasing different suppliers to get good value.
Pauline Hacker, PrestonThis has ripped off the ordinary people long enough.
