Energy sales need to be under state ownership again. It’s time to stop the daylight robbery we are subjected to by the Big Six energy companies. Enough is enough.

Marie Priest, Brighton

The attempt to create an artificial market in energy supply has demonstrably failed. It is broke so let’s fix it.

Rik Alewijnse, Feering

Energy should not be privately owned as profits go to shareholders first. Also those on the lowest incomes and on pre-pay meters pay the most for their fuel.

Casey Tremain, Portsmouth

Let us return to a fair sharing of wealth and freedom.

Peter Canham, Hitchin

Things that everyone needs to survive should not be subject to profits for a few.

Elizabeth Walthew, Duns

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.

Kay Green, Hastings

I agree with everything except the climate change bit. I just don’t believe Al Gore and the IPCC. I put my trust in honest men not cheats.

Richard Kent, Chard

Everyone needs to stand together and join us in rolling back the control of market forces.

Mark Arnold, Southend-on-Sea

People before profit.

Angela Dillon, Glenrothes

I agree with the sentiments on the power Bill of Rights. Power to cook and keep warm is a human right, not a means to destroy the environment and make massive profits.

L Simpson, Stafford

We may as well bring it back into public ownership as taxpayers are paying for it anyway.

Bob Dennett, Lytham

The bullies at the Big Six must be stood up to.

Gavin Sibthorpe, London

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.

Patricia Duncan, Carlisle

We need to re-think how our power is produced, by developing local power production rather than the out-dated transportation of power across the country by pylons.

Melanie Pownall-Harris, Radlett

Energy is now an essential for normal living, and thus shouldn’t be run for private profits.

Tony Douglas, Lanark

It’s time for a return to non-profit utilities, providing public services in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

Linda Urquhart, Loughborough

Re-nationalise it all. It should all be owned by and run for all the people – not thieves and shareholders.

Simon Williams, Sutton

This government is selling UK down the river good and proper. I have to work two days to pay for one week’s energy and I’m not wallowing in centrally heated bliss.

Eileen Watts, Swansea

It is just daylight robbery, but what is there to stop them? No-one wants to say too much with the election so close so we get just the same clap-trap.

Matthew Lowrey, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Nationalisation is for the benefit of the vast majority of the British people.

Elizabeth Burling, Barnet

This is very important – do not ignore the voices of your people.

Simon Roberts, London

All utilities should be under state control, in order to control prices and ensure supply whilst cutting out fat cat profiteering.

Peter Jones, Loughborough

Fantastic idea.

Marja Bonada, Oswestry

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

Gill Page, Richmond

Return our gas and electricity to public ownership now.

Keith Davies, Pentre

Re-nationalise the energy industry. Energy is a public good and therefore should be available to all, not just those who can afford it.

Tom Willis, Portsmouth

Price rises due to increased commodity costs are rapidly passed on in full by the Big Six to consumers. Cost reductions are not. They are exploiting the consumer.

Jeffrey Loffill, Knaresborough

All energy should be state owned.

Kenneth Miller, Leeds

Don’t expect any help from left wing politicians.

Roy Koerner, Wylam

The utilities were sold off far too cheaply.

John Malcolm, Mayfield
