Bring back the CEGB and area boards and not the private companies, mainly from abroad, fleecing the British taxpayers.

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

One of the evil things the Tories did was privatisation.

Energy should not be privately owned as profits go to shareholders first. Also those on the lowest incomes and on pre-pay meters pay the most for their fuel.

Before the sell-off there were 60million shareholders, each with one equal share and equal rights. Now the many pay the few, with no say, rights or choice. Our time has come.

How long before the market can stand no more?

We need water, gas, electric and the banks – back in public ownership and get this country back on track!

Too many million-pound salaries for energy company CEOs while the elderly and others choose between heating and lighting and eating.

It’s time that the people had control of these companies and paid fair prices, instead of being ripped off for huge profits and making poorer people suffer.

This will inevitably happen. In the future there will be wars over energy and we will all no doubt suffer.

I’m fed up with profits going to companies. They should go back into our hands.

Power to the people now.

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

Please return the gas and electricity industry to the same great institution which it used to be.

Energy and energy policy should be owned and controlled by the people, not the energy companies. We need a renewable revolution, a fossil-free energy system now.

Right on.

Power for the people.

When I was a teenager I watched Thatcher’s privatisation of UK assets and knew it was bad for citizens and then labour betrayed us. Time to return to rightful owners.

That’s it. We’ve had enough. You can push the people so far. Now we are taking our power back.

Where is the competition? Even Cameron called it a cartel.

There needs to be a common policy, approach and pay structure which realistically focuses on the end consumer.

Utilities are too important to the public to be run at their expense for private profit.

I couldn’t agree more with this agenda. Power to the voiceless.

Another area for re-nationalisation without compensation.

This isn’t just about energy prices. Look at the scandals surrounding G4S, Serco and Atos. Some things should not be privatised.

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

It should be back under one ownership, like it used to be. British gas is now owned by the French.

Give us our power back and allow us the means to produce our own energy on a community basis without the political constraints of large corporations.

Privatisation has been bad for everybody apart from the very rich. The country has gone to the dogs since things were privatised.

Another example of capitalism running amok with no restraints.
