Our heating is our biggest cost nowadays.

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

Energy companies should be brought to task.

We don’t want more choice. We just want better service, of benefit to both individuals and companies, serving the economy as a whole, not just shareholders.

Can we trust politicians to run anything? Heaven help us.

How can something so vital for human life be used to make a few richer?

Shame on a government which thrusts even more people into fuel poverty, while its MPs claim heating expenses for their second homes.

Why employ all these different salespeople trying to give me a different price for the same product? Have one nationalised provider and keep prices low for everybody.

This should never have been privatised.

Enough of these cartels. They do nothing for our country.

Investment in power is woeful. The profits are intolerable.

Is it a service for the people to keep warm this winter or is it a business to make the profits bigger. If everyone stopped payment for one month they’d fail big time.

If we are all in this together then why aren’t the profits to shareholders falling?

Let’s start putting people before profit.

Re-nationalise without delay. Privatisation has failed miserably.

End the corruption of the energy cartel.

Maggie Sold off the taxpayers’ property without their permission, leading to the chaos and profiteering, substandard maintenance and horrendous price Increases.

Utilities should always be in the hands of the people that use them. For these companies it is like writing a blank cheque.

Right on.

Common sense over greed, please.

Profits before people must stop.

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

It cannot be right that businesses make huge profits from energy.

Electricity and gas are now a vital part of our everyday lives. It is morally wrong to profit from something the people are so dependant on.

How can the Government have an ‘energy policy’ when the country is being held to ransom by privately-run, often not British, energy firms?

It’s about time the many stopped suffering, to line the pockets of the elite few.

They should never have been split up.

Yes, nationalisation would be great. The prices are crazy at the moment.

The Big Six are corporate thieves.

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.
