I campaigned against electricity privatisation when I worked in the industry and served on the NEC of the Electrical Power Engineers’ Association. I am vindicated.

Profiteering on this scale should be illegal. It’s the unacceptable face of capitalism and must be stopped.

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

Play fair.

Everyone needs to stand together and join us in rolling back the control of market forces.

The shameless boss of energy giant SSE is set to walk away with £15million as a golden goodbye, after his company was fined £4.5million for ripping off customers.

Stop extortionate bills. Also stop extortionate estimates that neither reflect the consumption of energy or make clear that they are only estimates.

Time to get rid of the energy racketeers.

It was, will be and is the property of those who are the property of this land. Let’s manage it so users, planet and the power industry workers get what they need.

I agree fully with your comments.

As Midnight said: The time has come. A fact’s a fact – It belongs to them. Let’s give it back.

I’m sick to death of stupid and corrupt politicians making rubbish decisions. We must have independence.

Nationalisation without compensation. Give us back our utilities now.

The utilities were sold off far too cheaply.

It is immoral for individual and corporate fat cats to profit so obscenely from peoples’ need simply to stay warm. All energy companies should be renationalised now.

One of the evil things the Tories did was privatisation.

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

We would be able to transition to a low carbon economy in a cheaper more intelligent way if we were in control of our power generation and distribution.

I despair when we have sold off our national assets, from rail to energy to water to money.

Privatisation has seen us ripped off left and right, not least by the energy companies. This needs to be rectified.

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

Government and corporations need to realise that they do not have the power. We, the people, do. It is the duty of us, the people, aware of this, to spread the message.

It’s a disgrace – pure greed. We need to have energy re-nationalised.

All essential services should be community assets, managed to benefit the people and not financially punish them.

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

It’s about time. I’m sick of getting robbed every winter.

Re-nationalise.

We don’t want more choice. We just want better service, of benefit to both individuals and companies, serving the economy as a whole, not just shareholders.

Re-nationalise. Control of the supply of power should be on a non-profit basis. These services should be run for citizens not for profit.

Making profit from essential public services shouldn’t be allowed.
