This should never have been privatised.

All have the right to have access to essentials for life, which includes an energy supply, regardless of ability to pay.

Utilities need to return to public ownership. We’re being ripped off.

I am fully in favour of re-nationalising the power industry and the railways.

We only demand back what was once ours.

Everyone who remembers the privatisation of utilities foresaw this happening. Re-nationalise now without compensation.

Public services for people not profit.

All profit to be re-invested in the service.

Crooks every one of them.

Everything should be publicly owned. The government has no say in the matter.

Too much attention to profits when we should be concentrating on improving life chances.

Dear British Gas, stop ripping me off.

Give us back our freedom that our parents fought for and stop ripping us off.

Re-nationalise without delay. Privatisation has failed miserably.

Time for re-nationalisation of the energy industry. Consumers should come first, not a bunch of faceless shareholders who put their own profit first.

Why has it taken so long to get started? The Tories are always fast enough pushing their privatisation schemes through parliament without asking for anyone’s opinions.

Fairness for all please, not just the rich.

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

The fact that the privatised energy companies can threaten the UK with blackouts has made the need for nationalisation more urgent.

Price 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.

We are being ripped off by these companies. Let’s disband them now and take back ownership.

Let private investment take the risk for HS2 and use the capital to re-create a national energy network.

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.

Thatcher’s legacy needs to be addressed.

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

Put this resource back in the hands of the British taxpayer instead of foreign shareholders who do not care about people.

Market forces have left this country with the prospect of being unable to meet our energy requirements in the next few years.

The utilities should never have been privatised. Reverse the bad decision now.

We have sold off too many of our utilities that should be owned by the taxpayers. Water, Gas, Electricity are all owned by foreigners.

Power to the people now.
