It’s time for a return to non-profit utilities, providing public services in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

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

We need to get back to a uniform fair price with profits going into improvements, not shareholders’ pockets.

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

It’s about time someone made the essential energy we all need a non-profit deal and made it affordable for all.

Services by the people for the people. Bring the energy and water companies back into public ownership.

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

Go.

Stop the rip-off.

Re-nationalisation is the only answer.

We may as well bring it back into public ownership as taxpayers are paying for it anyway.

No profit should be taken from providing people with essential services.

I hate being held to ransom.

The essential infrastructure of a country shouldn’t be in the hands of money-making private enterprises. They should be run for the good of the people of the country.

When the Tory government privatised utilities, they did not plan it out. It is a failed experiment which has only succeeded in making the man in the street suffer.

Heating and lighting are essential commodities in the UK. They should not be profit-based industries. They should be run by society for society.

Common sense over greed, please.

I believe in a free market economy. But remove the exceptions to the rule that are the utilities and mass transport systems.

Give us our money back you thieving gits watching us suffer.

I’m sick of being exploited by money-grabbing companies. I hope their days are numbered.

It’s about time the British people were helped by this government.

Keep power prices down and cut down on dividends to shareholders.

Let’s start putting people before profit.

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

Our heating is our biggest cost nowadays.

The power companies’ directors and shareholders are just vultures feasting on the misery of people with no choice.

It’s time to stop rich friends of the government ripping us off. Rail, water, gas, electricity and now the mail too.

The power companies were stolen from the people. Repossess them immediately.

All this tinkering around the edges of a corrupt system and empty threats to indifferent power companies is meaningless. Re-nationalise now.

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