I’m 100% behind you on this. It’s time to favour people rather than profits. We need to re-nationalise all utilities and public transport.

It’s necessary.

Don’t they think we pay enough? The government gave the nurses 1% and then the power companies put their prices up by 10%.

Either re-nationalise or be run as social enterprise which reinvests any excess into better infrastructure or gives to community projects.

Fairness for all please, not just the rich.

Energy generation should not be subject to the profit motive.

All so called profits can be re-invested back into energy generation to meet people’s need rather than corporate greed.

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

I agree fully with your comments.

The privatisation of utilities and other national assets has been 30 years of failure and corruption. It should be stopped.

A publicly owned energy provider will show up the lie that competition has been good for consumers, just as East Coast has on the railways.

obviously privatisation has been a disaster. All the evidence is there. Thatcher was wrong. We need a proper left wing spokesman to highlight this.

No-one should be profiting out of the essentials of life; any surplus should be going back into the public purse.

It’s plain common sense.

No need to feed the greed. Plant the seed.

I have three kids and cannot afford to heat the house for them. It’s ridiculous that these power companies think it’s acceptable to charge the amount they do.

Let’s bring an end to the extortion racket that is operated by the power companies.

This government is selling UK down the river good and proper. I have to work two days to pay for one week’s energy and I’m not wallowing in centrally heated bliss.

Big business has had too much power for too long. Its time to return it back to the people.

It’s about time the many stopped suffering, to line the pockets of the elite few.

Give the money back that you have overcharged consumers.

The huge growth in profit taken by the Big Six over the last four years – from

I’m sat in a cold freezing room writing this with my feet in the cat box, just to keep some warmth and circulation going.

I am awake. For too long now have my eyes been shut to the abuses and corruption that is an endemic rot through the very fabric of society. I say viva la revolution.

It’s about time this issue was brought to the fore.

Power to the many in the hands of the many.

Public services for people not profit.

It is about time the ownership of the electricity and gas industries was passed to the people of the country.

I’m fed up chasing better deals.

Not everyone has the ability to access information on cheaper deals. The result is, as in so many other areas, that those least able to afford it end up paying most.
