The cost of energy is going to be of increasing significance. People must make themselves heard.

John Butler, Strabane

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

Mark Arnold, Southend-on-Sea

The power companies were stolen from the people. Repossess them immediately.

Peter Swindells, Wolverhampton

Re-nationalise all the stuff that once belonged to us now.

Noel Smith, Fareham

Fuel should be a nationalised industry, to ensure that there are certain controls in place so that everyone can stay warm.

Tracey Purnell, Edinburgh

It should never have been privatised.

Mark Finch, Bromley

Clearly nothing fundamental to life should be owned for profit.

Mike Bird, Llandudno

It should not have been sold off in the first place. It only lined the pockets of Tories’ friends and masters.

Eric Woodruff, Lytham St Anne’s

Let’s take back what was stolen from us.

Rob Hamilton, Rotherham

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

Gill Page, Richmond

The voice and will of the silent majority needs to be heard.

Geoffrey Allen, Cramlington

Re-nationalise now.

Patrick McGrath, London

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

Becky Sherwood, Totnes

It’s about time the British people were helped by this government.

David Blandford, Nomansland

Energy for the public not profit.

James Graham, Croydon

Let’s start putting people before profit.

Philippe Lechat, Chatham

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

Gavin Sibthorpe, London

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

Margaret Graham, Edinburgh

Energy supplies and infrastructure are produced by the people. They should be owned by the people.

Paul Mclean, Leeds

Stop extortionate bills. Also stop extortionate estimates that neither reflect the consumption of energy or make clear that they are only estimates.

Sam Roberts, Liverpool

It’s about time these companies were punished. They’re absolutely disgusting, the lot of them.

Garry Boyle, Brentwood

The recent price increases by the major energy companies prey on the most vulnerable members of society solely to boost already record high profits.

Gerald Halligan, Edinburgh

We’ve had enough of prices so high and having to have a house that is cold.

Lavern Wilson, Mansfield

Power supplies are too important to leave privateers in control.

Fred Torr, Truro

The only way to stop the profiteering rip-off that is perpetrated by the private utility companies is to bring back all of them under the public wing.

Johnathan Mark Sharpe-Smith, Great Driffield

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

Tony Douglas, Lanark

Excellent cause. Well done. When the government washes its hands of its responsibility to the people, the people must take action to protect themselves.

Graham Coulson, Cambridge

Everyone who remembers the privatisation of utilities foresaw this happening. Re-nationalise now without compensation.

Tom Organ, Bristol

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
