Energy is too important to be a wealth provider for shareholders of private companies.

Shan Oakes, Beverley

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

Nick Haeffner, London

I never thought I would be living in fuel poverty.

Jenny Dimond, Ware

Give us our utilities back now.

Col Farrell, Liverpool

Government approved robbery of the population for the benefit of the few.

Gordon Stringer, Potters Bar

Power to the many in the hands of the many.

Bernie Lally, Northampton

All infrastructure should be in public control – power and water, transport and telecommunications.

Neville Akroyd, Launceston

At last. Well done you people and may your good work continue.

Roy Colgate, Hove

We need to empower communities. People do have power. If we want to achieve something, we the people can be the agent of change and do it ourselves.

Greg Hewitt, Nottingham

Power for the people and to the people – people power. as John Lennon put it – Love and Peace.

Pete & Nikki Perry, Stevenage

Bring back the CEGB. They would have solved the reduction of CO2 problem, got nuclear generation, got safe generation margins etc.

John Exon, Harrogate

I could not agree with anything more.

Mike Wilce, Southampton

Basic living, water and power, should not be owned by private companies for profit.

Bob Woodhead, Leeds

Let’s get rid of the shareholders.

Joan Harrison, St Albans

We need to get back to a point where basics such as heat and light are affordable to all. People before profit.

Stephen Hurrel, Glasgow

I love this campaign. It’s time to smash the myth that privatisation is good for consumers.

Damien Clarkson, London

Excellent cause. Well done. When the government washes its hands of its responsibility to the people, the people must take action to protect themselves.

Graham Coulson, Cambridge

Public 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.

Liam McDill, Sandwick

Enough is enough.

Rick Long

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

Michael Lawson, Borehamwood

We need affordable, sustainable, clean energy, for the common good, not private profit.

Brian Smith, Stockton Brook

Putting food on the table is hard enough without worrying about the cost of cooking it.

Sean Barlow, Chester

I’m fed up chasing better deals.

John Podger, Ware

Privatisation has proved not to be in the interests of the nation. Competition has not resulted in companies vying to please customers, but in a self-interested cartel.

Susan Henderson, St Albans

Heating and hot water should not be for commercial gain.

Pam Robinson, London

Energy for the public not profit.

James Graham, Croydon

Nothing good ever came from privatisation.

Rebecca Lush Blum, Southampton

At the very least do away with a daily standing charge.

Janet Brooke, Nottingham

More money for the rich and the poor suffer.

Lennard James-Tall, Llanelli
