De-rail the current gravy train. Too many bosses and not enough productive staff.

Robert Nolan, Liverpool

The privatisation of utilities and other national assets has been 30 years of failure and corruption. It should be stopped.

Jonathan Evans, Norwich

Bring back nationalised power for the people of Britain and stop these greedy giants lining their pockets.

Sue Stacey, Stockport

Privatisation has been bad for everybody apart from the very rich. The country has gone to the dogs since things were privatised.

Ken Horn, Swadlincote

Let the voices of the people be heard.

Julian Bell, West Molesey

Another area for re-nationalisation without compensation.

Brian Potter, Birmingham

Because energy is too important to be left to the spivs.

Dave Waite, Lincoln

They should never have been sold off in the first place.

David Callahan, London

We need cheaper fuel.

Susan Rogers, Whalley Range

The current political concern about energy provision consistently ignores the obvious – that the problems are the consequence of privatisation.

Simon Archer, York

Tell Sid he’s a thief.

Ray Butler, Manchester

Why should someone else control our energy supply?

Nigel Apperley, Bournemouth

The time is right to take back the industries into public hands for benefit of the public.

George Hill, Corby

I used to work in the power generation industry when it was privatised by the Tory government and we said then it would not work. How right we were.

Peter Wooldridge, Pontefract

Give the money back that you have overcharged consumers.

Steve Gordon, Bedford

Our energy needs to be renewable and prices need to be fairer for all.

Laura Long, Leeds

Give the power back to the people.

Susan Warren, St Leonards-on-Sea

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

Linda Urquhart, Loughborough

Our broad intervention strategies are: 1. Poverty eradication. 2. Food security and nutrition. 3. Health and population dynamics. 4. Education. 5. Gender Equality.

Professor Okullu-Ayor Vincent, Kampala, Uganda

Why do we need the money-grabbing middle men? Give us back our energy industry and plough the profits back into the infrastructure, not into the pockets of shareholders.

Jim Peters, Denham

I am fed up with being ripped off by these companies.

Terence Dare, Mansfield

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

John Lynch, Pudsey.

At the very least do away with a daily standing charge.

Janet Brooke, Nottingham

Re-nationalisation is the only answer.

David Britten, Farnham

Bring the power back to the people.

Alex Burnell, Ipswich

Privatisation wouldn’t have been so bad if the prices hadn’t been driven up so far so fast and the services degraded. Shareholders and businessmen are all greedy.

Sandra Humphries, Southsea

I support this act.

Gamal Salem, Dartford

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

Hywel Morgan, London

Privatisation has not worked.

Lynne Richardson, Hucknall
