Laurie Walmsley,Public services for people not profit.
Simon Roberts, LondonThis is very important – do not ignore the voices of your people.
Patricia Borlenghi, ManningtreePrivatisation instead of state monopoly was meant to lead to competition and lower prices for consumers. This hasn’t happened and rich bosses make even more profit.
Hywel Morgan, LondonIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Mark Laidler, DoncasterBig Six energy companies are a definite cartel. Let’s have a proper investigation into them. Ever since the utility companies were put in private hands prices have risen.
Diane Tsavalos, LiverpoolThe fact that the privatised energy companies can threaten the UK with blackouts has made the need for nationalisation more urgent.
Dave Waite, LincolnBecause energy is too important to be left to the spivs.
Patricia Bull, LewesLet’s get back to pre-Thatcher era when we the people owned and reaped the benefits of public ownership. It’s only right.
Steve Jarvis, WestburyIt’s time we stopped treating our neighbours as competitors, and for politicians playing the electorate off against each other. Let’s come together for the common good.
Shirley Tunley, AberystwythGovernments have failed to correct this. We must.
Garry Clarkson, LeedsI was forced to debilitating depression and suicide by N-power’s false billing. My MP wrote to Voker Beckers and we have no reply a year on.
Glen Burrows, BridgwaterShame on a government which thrusts even more people into fuel poverty, while its MPs claim heating expenses for their second homes.
Julia Callow, BournemouthRe-nationalise and rationalise the energy sector. As long as companies can make a profit exploiting natural resources they will continue to do so.
Gavin Symes, FarnhamStop privatisation now.
Stuart Holden, NottinghamPower to the little men and women.
Richard Trotman, PenistoneI challenge the powers that be to demonstrate so much as a single benefit to consumers from Thatcher’s privatisation of the energy utilities. Just one?
John Robinson, LincolnMore power to your elbow. Something needs to be done to stop this profiteering on something that people rely on.
Jonathan Price, SheffieldPrivatisation of our infrastructure only works for those who worship the god of money.
Mark Finch, BromleyIt should never have been privatised.
Maggie Lewis, Waltham on the WoldsI prefer the country’s energy supply in the hands of politicians and not capitalists, but the margin is very slight.
David Treasurer, CanterburyRe-nationalise, run the power supplies as a service, not a way of making a few richer while the majority struggle to pay the bills. Any profit made is kept in the country.
Brian Smith, Stockton BrookEnergy for public good not private profit.
Paul Scotter, NorwichRe-nationalise.
Brian Cann, YeovilIt should never have happened in the first place. It just cost us all a lot of money. And for what?
Phillipa Partington, BedfordCustomer choice in the provision of essential utilities makes no sense. Nationalisation of these industries serves the people of the country well.
Kenneth Miller, LeedsAll energy should be state owned.
Chris Yates, NorthwichThis needs to happen. The greedy capitalists have taken the rug from under us and left fellow members of our nation with the difficult choice of heating or eating.
Jeanne Summers, LowestoftWhere consumer essentials are concerned, profit adds to the cost. Re-nationalisation of power is necessary.
Michael Oram, DorchesterI’m fed up with the fat cat chairman making a mint while my bills still go up and up.
Alan Newstead, EastleighBring back the CEGB and area boards and not the private companies, mainly from abroad, fleecing the British taxpayers.
