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.

The aim to privatise our natural emerging monopolies would only end in disaster. There is no competition on energy provision and it’s a huge waste of resources.

Re-nationalise energy now.

Sustainable, affordable and communal energy.

Give us our utilities back now.

It should be back under one ownership, like it used to be. British gas is now owned by the French.

Power to the many in the hands of the many.

Nationalise. Not for profit.

Something as essential as power generation should not be in the hands of people whose only interest is in short term shareholder gain.

All vital public services such as energy, water, transport, postal services, education and health have no place being run for profit by tax-dodging multinationals.

Rip-off utilities companies need sorting out. People before profit.

Power for the people.

Privatisation of Britain’s public services has been a disaster for consumers, the environment and the economy.

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

It 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.

It is time to bring them back into state hands for the good of the many not a few shareholders

Socialism was defeated from 1979 onwards. I was born in 1936 and it is time to restore it because of present day poverty and inequality.

No argument. Power is an essential, not a profit-making commodity.

Water and energy should be non-profit-making.

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

Investment in power is woeful. The profits are intolerable.

It’s plain common sense.

It’s necessary.

When a company is nationalised, any profits can come back to the people.

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

It’s time to stop rich friends of the government ripping us off. Rail, water, gas, electricity and now the mail too.

The government could be making all the profit and then reduce taxes and improve public services.

We are being ripped off, have been for ages and we need to put it right once and for all.

If you see Sid, tell him we messed it up.

Get it back in our hands, with proper, democratically-consulted safeguards against bad management this time.
