Common sense over greed, please.

Miranda Hartwell

Power to and for the people. Let’s move society forward.

Martin Catchpole, Ipswich

The Big Six are corporate thieves.

Geoff Lange, Gosport

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

Sean Barlow, Chester

Renationalise the energy utilities please.

Gaby Weiner, Lewes East Sussex

It’s time to end the experiment! Energy supply is too important to be left in the hands of the private sector!

Peter Whitehead, Gilberdyke, East Yorkshire

A publicly owned energy provider will show up the lie that competition has been good for consumers, just as East Coast has on the railways.

Tom Warnett, Slough

Power for the people.

Colin Keatley, Plymouth

Re-nationalisation of all utilities.

Dennis Wood, Clacton-on-Sea

The water companies should also be taken back into public ownership. Water is a vital resource for everyone. The notion that it can be owned by anyone is obscene.

Roger Wells, Stourbridge

Re-nationalise all energy.

Jennifer Gray, Bristol

Profit from privatisation is given to shareholders whereas profits from nationalisation is re-invested to improve the system. Government has ultimate control, not fat cats.

Karl Snowdon, Gateshead

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.

Lorna Pearson

Investment in power is woeful. The profits are intolerable.

John Abbott, Leeds

We need government-run, not-for-profit energy supplies.

Michaela Tiernan, Peterlee

The only way to stop the profiteering rip-off that is perpetrated by the private utility companies is to bring back all of them under the public wing.

Johnathan Mark Sharpe-Smith, Great Driffield

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

Capitalism or a planet – it’s one or the other.

John Freestone, Harrogate

Public utilities should never be in private hands. Simple.

Alec Rivers, Folkestone

All utilities and public transport should be in state ownership.

John Truelove, Weston-super-Mare

You can see the Big Six are cheating. There never was such an obvious cartel.

Bernard Harrison, London

Long overdue.

Sue Basker, Derby

I want to own what belongs to me, and what has been stolen from me.

Stella Haynes, Market Harborough

Lives before excessive profit.

John Taylor, Chesterfield

Re-nationalise without delay. Privatisation has failed miserably.

Paul Beattie, Corby

Monopoly may be a popular game but in real life it’s no fun for the customer. It’s just a cartel in disguise.

Caroline Abbott, Middlesbrough

Re-nationalise it all. It should all be owned by and run for all the people – not thieves and shareholders.

Simon Williams, Sutton

All public services and necessities of life should belong to the people not profit-hungry corporations intent on putting profit before people.

Jason Fawley, Doncaster

The companies were sold off cheaply and no investment has been made by them since privatisation. They now want to make the consumers pay for under-investment.

John Bramhall, Newbury

This needs to happen.
