Abigail Wheeler, CheltenhamI agree fully with your comments.
Chuck Elliot, SheffieldPrivatised energy is not serving the consumer; only the energy companies and their shareholders. Nationalise energy now.
Andrew Wilkes, CardiffPower to the people.
Jack Grout, HuddersfieldElectricity 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.
Adrian Potts, LeicesterProfiteering on this scale should be illegal. It’s the unacceptable face of capitalism and must be stopped.
Jim Roche, LeedsEnergy, rail and health are strategic resources that should be government controlled. We’ve already got health, so there are two to go.
Paul Geraghty, WarringtonReturn to public ownership for the people’s benefit.
Christian Chess, ChippenhamUtilities should never have been privatised in the first place. Please, re-nationalise for the sake of the British people.
Ken Horn, SwadlincotePrivatisation has been bad for everybody apart from the very rich. The country has gone to the dogs since things were privatised.
Mark Atkinson, HastingsSupporting social ideals with collective responsibility.
Arete Tssiktsa, SalisburyThe experiment of privatised energy has failed beyond a reasonable doubt. It claimed competition would deliver the most affordable prices.
Matthew Allen, PortsmouthAbove inflation price rises year on year is simply not sustainable. This is sheer profiteering. The companies can see that their days are numbered.
Mark Finch, BromleyIt should never have been privatised.
Stella Haynes, Market HarboroughI want to own what belongs to me, and what has been stolen from me.
Kay Green, HastingsIt was, will be and is the property of those who are the property of this land. Let’s manage it so users, planet and the power industry workers get what they need.
Cristian Gurran, RotherhamFree market capitalism is not the best way for everything and is certainly not the optimal philosophy for providing essential services to a country’s population.
Brendan McAlinden, WarringtonThe millions in profits should be used to keep prices down, not line the pockets of directors and shareholders.
Ian Johncock, GravesendMaking profit from essential public services shouldn’t be allowed.
Niall Clifford, YeovilGiving the private sector monopolies is the most stupid thing, amongst many, the Tories ever did.
Bob Dennett, LythamWe may as well bring it back into public ownership as taxpayers are paying for it anyway.
Paul Ellerington, BedfordI am fully in favour of re-nationalising the power industry and the railways.
Phillipa Partington, BedfordCustomer choice in the provision of essential utilities makes no sense. Nationalisation of these industries serves the people of the country well.
Ken Keable, Stoke-sub-HamdonI campaigned against electricity privatisation when I worked in the industry and served on the NEC of the Electrical Power Engineers’ Association. I am vindicated.
Jonathan Price, SheffieldPrivatisation of our infrastructure only works for those who worship the god of money.
John Payne, LondonAnother public asset stolen from the people.
David Wilson, East KilbrideI have three kids and cannot afford to heat the house for them. It’s ridiculous that these power companies think it’s acceptable to charge the amount they do.
Margaret Evans, SheffieldNationalisation is best with no dividends to pay.
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?
Susan Henderson, St AlbansPrivatisation has proved not to be in the interests of the nation. Competition has not resulted in companies vying to please customers, but in a self-interested cartel.
