Jean Fernandes, LondonHow can we boycott them?
Ollie Abdullah, EssexThis is a strong possibility if we all stick together.
Kevin Ritter, Ebbw Vale.In the interest of the people re-nationalise now.
Glen Burrows, BridgwaterShame on a government which thrusts even more people into fuel poverty, while its MPs claim heating expenses for their second homes.
Guy Falkenau, Newcastle-upon-TyneOur 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.
Thomas Dunn, YorkWe need services run for citizens, not private profiteers.
Jeffrey Loffill, KnaresboroughPrice rises due to increased commodity costs are rapidly passed on in full by the Big Six to consumers. Cost reductions are not. They are exploiting the consumer.
Terry Down, Milton KeynesServices for the people, not private profit.
Leslie Lomax, St AustellRe-nationalise now.
John Hudghton, BuxtonLet private investment take the risk for HS2 and use the capital to re-create a national energy network.
Niall Clifford, YeovilGiving the private sector monopolies is the most stupid thing, amongst many, the Tories ever did.
Diane Tsavalos, LiverpoolThe fact that the privatised energy companies can threaten the UK with blackouts has made the need for nationalisation more urgent.
Richard Trotman, PenistoneI challenge the powers that be to demonstrate so much as a single benefit to consumers from Thatcher’s privatisation of the energy utilities. Just one?
John Birbeck, YorkThis will inevitably happen. In the future there will be wars over energy and we will all no doubt suffer.
Joseph PayneThis needs to happen.
Tim Armstrong-Taylor, KimptonReturning power ownership and production to the British people is the only way to guarantee cost and infrastructure control. Give power back to the people.
Liam McDill, SandwickPublic ownership is the only viable basis on which energy and public transport can be planned and developed in an integrated way, to combat climate change.
Karen Johnson, Princes RisboroughTime to get rid of the energy racketeers.
Steve Brooks, FinedonHonesty and integrity. Be the first with these values.
Anthony Peter, TodmordenUtilities are too important to the public to be run at their expense for private profit.
Susan Shaw, BarnsleyWhatever excuses they come up with, its a cartel and that’s illegal.
Eddie Griffin, BorehamwoodI’m sick of these rip-off companies fleecing us.
Sheila Taylor, SheffieldWhy do people not shift away from the Big Six? If everyone did they’d soon think again about their prices.
Hazel Willmer, BarnsleyLet’s get back to how it was – a more fair society.
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.
Mark Dickson, Hebden BridgeAll this tinkering around the edges of a corrupt system and empty threats to indifferent power companies is meaningless. Re-nationalise now.
Robert Nolan, LiverpoolDe-rail the current gravy train. Too many bosses and not enough productive staff.
Iain Logan, LiverpoolStart with the railways, then re-nationalise gas, water and electricity. Hands off the Royal Mail too!
Anthony Martin, ExeterPlay fair.
Andy Wilkinson, NorwichLet’s get the utilities out of the hands of these greedy bastards. They should belong to the community at large.
