I’m fed up chasing better deals.

John Podger, Ware

Services for the people, not private profit.

Terry Down, Milton Keynes

Profits before people must stop.

Daniel Holt, Bournemouth

This has ripped off the ordinary people long enough.

Pauline Hacker, Preston

No-one should be profiting out of the essentials of life; any surplus should be going back into the public purse.

Julia Hector, Stirling

Big Six energy companies are a definite cartel. Let’s have a proper investigation into them. Ever since the utility companies were put in private hands prices have risen.

Mark Laidler, Doncaster

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

Christine & Vic Taylor, Keyworth

Not everyone has the ability to access information on cheaper deals. The result is, as in so many other areas, that those least able to afford it end up paying most.

Valerie Bartleet, Wolverhampton

We need a power company that the country owns not companies run by profiteers.

Mark Marriott, Nottingham

There is no real choice with the Big Six cartel we have currently. We are sick of being ripped off. It is time for progressive change in energy provision.

Janis Cairns, Manchester

Why should someone else control our energy supply?

Nigel Apperley, Bournemouth

Because energy is too important to be left to the spivs.

Dave Waite, Lincoln

Fairness for all please, not just the rich.

Mary Morgan, Manchester

This is pure Conservative ideology that has driven this incorrect policy, which no other country of note agrees with.

Bill Hunter, Hartlepool

It makes sense for ‘natural monopoly’ industries, providing necessities like energy, to be in public hands. Profits directly invested into insulating homes.

Rosie Leach, Machynlleth

It’s time to end the experiment! Energy supply is too important to be left in the hands of the private sector!

Peter Whitehead, Gilberdyke, East Yorkshire

Let’s get the utilities out of the hands of these greedy bastards. They should belong to the community at large.

Andy Wilkinson, Norwich

Utilities should never have been privatised in the first place. Please, re-nationalise for the sake of the British people.

Christian Chess, Chippenham

Energy is a public resource. Surely it makes sense that its production and distribution is managed for the public good, not massive profit for a tiny minority of people.

Darrin Green, Horsham

I am tired of the energy companies making profits from the poorest in society.

Mag McNally, London

Energy is too important to be a wealth provider for shareholders of private companies.

Shan Oakes, Beverley

End this farce. Too long the Big Six have worked together to increase prices.

Ryan Mercer, London

Nothing good ever came from privatisation.

Rebecca Lush Blum, Southampton

One of the evil things the Tories did was privatisation.

Martin Webb, Goole

Essential services must be state-owned. Power for the people, by the people.

Mark Garner, Leicester

Give us our utilities back now.

Col Farrell, Liverpool

Well done to our various governments of the last 30 years for screwing us all over and leaving themselves looked after. For shame, give us all a chance to live.

Joseph Yhap, London

Public utilities for the public. Not massive profits for foreign companies while we freeze.

Susan Pearce, Oldham

It’s about time. I’m sick of getting robbed every winter.

Stephen Cooper, Peterborough

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
