John Ellison, LeicesterPrivatisation has failed the people. These must be brought back under state control.
Susan Reineck, YorkThey should never have been split up.
Geoff Walker, Stoke On TrentI’ve made the first step by ditching the big companies. I’ve moved my account to Co-operative energy, the first step to bring excessive profits back to members.
Lia Martinucci, Richmond, North YorkshirePrivatization of energy resources and transport is a disgrace.
Peter Greenwood, DarlingtonPeople die of cold every year while profiteers pocket bonuses.
Margaret Gain, Stratford-upon-AvonUtilities (power and water etc.) should be owned by the taxpayers who, after all, are subsidising private companies.
John Faviell Taylor, RiponOur natural resources should never have been privatised in the first place.
Ray Butler, ManchesterTell Sid he’s a thief.
Douglas Linaker, PenzanceThese industries should never have been privatised in the first place.
Andy Walker, BrightonI’m fed up with profits going to companies. They should go back into our hands.
John Warburton, TreuddynAll utilities should belong to the people, not profit-making private companies.
Kimaya Crolla-Younger, LondonAccess to power is a basic human right and one that needs to be affordable for all.
Barbara Brogan, Letchworthprivate companies are more concerned about profits for shareholders than providing a service. This is inevitable if they want to attract investors.
Ken Cooke, St AustellGive back something I used to own, which was sold without my permission.
John Taylor, GuisboroughPrices are too high.
David Cunliffe, St HelensCertain commodities should be owned by the people, for the people. Energy, public transport, water.
Eric Woodruff, Lytham St Anne’sIt should not have been sold off in the first place. It only lined the pockets of Tories’ friends and masters.
Paul Ellerington, BedfordI am fully in favour of re-nationalising the power industry and the railways.
John Reilly, GlasgowTime for re-nationalisation of the energy industry. Consumers should come first, not a bunch of faceless shareholders who put their own profit first.
Martyn Wilson, FarnboroughI just want a reliable, fair, publicly-owned utility, not a never-ending cycle of chasing different suppliers to get good value.
Steve Black, SouthamptonRun utilities for the people and the environment
Andrea Stow, CleckheatonPut profits back into services, not into shareholder pockets.
Clive Rutter, BristolPrivate profit should never have been put before public service.
John Hoyle, KetteringOur energy supply is fundamental to our society and should be owned by our society.
Rick LongEnough is enough.
Julia Clarke, CroydonI’m tired of being overcharged and paying more for ever decreasing benefit. Nationalise now.
Phillipa Partington, BedfordCustomer choice in the provision of essential utilities makes no sense. Nationalisation of these industries serves the people of the country well.
Janet Brooke, NottinghamAt the very least do away with a daily standing charge.
Andrew Duncan, ExeterEnergy to serve the sustainable needs of the many, not the short-term profit of the elite few.
Alison Belbin, BirminghamIt should never have been sold off in the first place. It’s a basic need which should be provided for the people by the people.
