Richard Walthew, DunsThe power companies’ directors and shareholders are just vultures feasting on the misery of people with no choice.
Mark Atkinson, HastingsSupporting social ideals with collective responsibility.
Stuart Wooldridge, PontefractIs it a service for the people to keep warm this winter or is it a business to make the profits bigger. If everyone stopped payment for one month they’d fail big time.
Casey Tremain, PortsmouthEnergy 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.
Stephen Munton, BirminghamPlease return the gas and electricity industry to the same great institution which it used to be.
Mike Seaman, UxbridgeUtilities need to return to public ownership. We’re being ripped off.
John Robinson, LincolnMore power to your elbow. Something needs to be done to stop this profiteering on something that people rely on.
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.
Jon Crinks, LiskeardBefore the sell-off there were 60million shareholders, each with one equal share and equal rights. Now the many pay the few, with no say, rights or choice. Our time has come.
Martin Cummins, EdinburghOnly public ownership will deliver a service for the people, not profits for shareholders.
John Hudghton, BuxtonLet private investment take the risk for HS2 and use the capital to re-create a national energy network.
Pam Robinson, LondonHeating and hot water should not be for commercial gain.
Juliet Chard, LondonToo many million-pound salaries for energy company CEOs while the elderly and others choose between heating and lighting and eating.
Simon Silvie, Barrow-in-FurnessRestore security and sovereignty by restoring energy, utilities and transport to public ownership.
Callum Thomas, BrightonThe 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.
Ian Cattell, WolverhamptonHow about paying for energy usage with, say, 3% income tax? The rich would pay more than the poor. Incentivise low usage by dropping the percentage.
Marylyn Edwards, HastingsUtilities should not be for profit but for the people.
Pete Heskett, LondonPrivatisation equals prices up, service down, profits to investment bankers.
Professor Okullu-Ayor Vincent, Kampala, UgandaOur broad intervention strategies are: 1. Poverty eradication. 2. Food security and nutrition. 3. Health and population dynamics. 4. Education. 5. Gender Equality.
Jez Curnow, EdinburghPeople would be happier paying tax if the essential services were to be or stay nationalised.
Ted Ryder, MansfieldI totally agree with your aims.
James Graham, CroydonEnergy for the public not profit.
Bob Green, SheffieldI’m sat in a cold freezing room writing this with my feet in the cat box, just to keep some warmth and circulation going.
Rob Seed, WorcesterI support the dream but has anyone any idea of the cost of re-nationalising?
Mark Arnold, Southend-on-SeaEveryone needs to stand together and join us in rolling back the control of market forces.
David Weston, BodminPower production should be for us all and not for private profit.
Shaun Glossop, NottinghamI do not believe that an essential national service is best placed in the hands of private corporations. It should be owned by and serve the interests of all.
Steve Brooks, FinedonHonesty and integrity. Be the first with these values.
John Podger, WareI’m fed up chasing better deals.
George Davies, DarwenEveryone 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.
