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

Start with the railways, then re-nationalise gas, water and electricity. Hands off the Royal Mail too!

Tell Sid to hand back the keys and bugger off.

Power to the little men and women.

Access to power is a basic human right and one that needs to be affordable for all.

Utilities (power and water etc.) should be owned by the taxpayers who, after all, are subsidising private companies.

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.

Public ownership can be local and democratic. It does not have to be 1940s style state bureaucracy.

Customer choice in the provision of essential utilities makes no sense. Nationalisation of these industries serves the people of the country well.

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

Basic utilities that underpin the infrastructure of a nation should never be in the hands of private, often foreign, businesses.

Privatisation has not worked for the majority of people.

Stop the rip-off.

Put energy suppliers back into public ownership.

I just agree with everything you’ve said.

It’s time for a return to non-profit utilities, providing public services in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

Basic needs should not be in the hands of big business.

What’s the point of disrupting a well run system for the sake of political ideology? Save the money for the councils that are having to make budget cuts.

Privatisation of our infrastructure only works for those who worship the god of money.

Another example of capitalism running amok with no restraints.

Let’s unite against these fat cats and make them reduce their profits.

Power is too important to be left to private business.

Utilities should be in public hands and not those of profit-seeking, and often foreign, owners.

All utilities should be in the hands of the public.

Get back to sanity.

Power we need and it’s only by sticking together that maybe something can be done. This is not what I and millions like me paid into. Please continue with your message.

I prefer the country’s energy supply in the hands of politicians and not capitalists, but the margin is very slight.

We need to get back to a uniform fair price with profits going into improvements, not shareholders’ pockets.

Energy companies should be brought to task.

Capitalism or a planet – it’s one or the other.
