These industries should never have been privatised in the first place.

Douglas Linaker, Penzance

All energy companies should be re-nationalised and green energy supported.

Allen Lane, Brighton

Profiteering on this scale should be illegal. It’s the unacceptable face of capitalism and must be stopped.

Adrian Potts, Leicester

This will inevitably happen. In the future there will be wars over energy and we will all no doubt suffer.

John Birbeck, York

It is impossible to have a fair utility supply in the private sector – let’s take it back.

Gill Page, Richmond

Tory MPs are only concerned with making the rich richer at the expense of the poor. Equality? No.

Brian Stephens, Sunderland

I have photo-voltaics and have done a lot to make my home energy efficient. It would be good if the government allowed us to do the same with national energy provision.

Polly Moyer, Bristol

It’s time for action. People need heat and light to survive.

Paul Clarke, Glasgow

This 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.

Chris Yates, Northwich

I too support the re-nationalisation of energy supply in the UK.

Claire Goodes, Ashford

Everyone needs energy and at a cost that protects and enhances life, rather than simply unearned dividend payments which are used to make rich people even richer.

George Davies, Darwen

All utilities and public transport should be in state ownership.

John Truelove, Weston-super-Mare

I’ve made the first step by ditching the big companies. I’ve moved my account to Co-operative energy, the first step to bring excessive profits back to members.

Geoff Walker, Stoke On Trent

No need to feed the greed. Plant the seed.

Bryan Burrow, Kendal

I love this campaign. It’s time to smash the myth that privatisation is good for consumers.

Damien Clarkson, London

We, the people, should benefit from the basic right of fuel supply at a cheap price, not line the pockets of the already rich while others freeze to death.

Karen Stinton, Cardigan

Take back the assets that formerly belonged to the British people. They were fraudulently sold by Mrs Thatcher to the benefit of her friends in the Conservative party.

Tessa Bennett, Berwick-upon-Tweed

Fairness for all please, not just the rich.

Mary Morgan, Manchester

Profits before people must stop.

Daniel Holt, Bournemouth

All profit to be re-invested in the service.

Brian Billingham, Leeds

Put profits back into services, not into shareholder pockets.

Andrea Stow, Cleckheaton

Light and heat are basic human needs and profits should not be made from their provision.

Brian Hoey, Houghton-le-Spring

Free 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.

Cristian Gurran, Rotherham

Enough is enough of foreign companies owning our utilities and holding people to ransom.

Tony North, Warrington

Regulators are captured by their industries and this makes the commercial model act against its consumers if pursuit of profits paid to foreign owners.

Blair Breton, Portsmouth

The government are far too keen to sell everything off and give the general public sweet nothing in return.

Brian Baylis, Downham Market

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

People who have a physical disability or learning disability and the elderly are most at risk with all the high charges.

Dorcas Munday, Wellingborough

This issue is far too important to be left to multinationals who put profit before people and don’t care about driving customers into poverty and despair.

Richard Bunting, Dover

Another privatisation for the benefit of the City and funders of the Conservative Party.

Malcolm Grant, Plungar
