Our natural resources should never have been privatised in the first place.

John Faviell Taylor, Ripon

I’m 100% behind you on this. It’s time to favour people rather than profits. We need to re-nationalise all utilities and public transport.

Philip Joyce, Dundee

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

Dorcas Munday, Wellingborough

Privatisation wouldn’t have been so bad if the prices hadn’t been driven up so far so fast and the services degraded. Shareholders and businessmen are all greedy.

Sandra Humphries, Southsea

Honesty and integrity. Be the first with these values.

Steve Brooks, Finedon

How 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.

Ian Cattell, Wolverhampton

Keep up the good work. We are on an electric key meter. Not many companies do it so it makes it hard to change.

Moira Smith, Kent

Enough is enough. People first, not profit.

Michael Shaw, Saddleworth

I transferred to the Co-op from British Gas and Immediately cut my energy costs by a third.

Phillip Walton, Basildon

Energy should never have been privatised. We want it back.

Kevin Brown

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. Over 60% of the population didn’t vote for privatisation, so why should we have to be ripped off like this?

Alan Gale, Rochdale

Give back something I used to own, which was sold without my permission.

Ken Cooke, St Austell

Services for the people, not private profit.

Terry Down, Milton Keynes

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

Peter Swindells, Wolverhampton

Government and corporations need to realise that they do not have the power. We, the people, do. It is the duty of us, the people, aware of this, to spread the message.

Jack Carmenta, Leamington Spa

Essential services should be publicly owned and not a business driven by profit.

Janet Mobbs, Stockport

stop private companies profiting at the people’s expense when so many are in ‘fuel poverty’

Lynne Carpenter, Lindon

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

Private profit should never have been put before public service.

Clive Rutter, Bristol

Prices are too high.

John Taylor, Guisborough

As Midnight said: The time has come. A fact’s a fact – It belongs to them. Let’s give it back.

Tom Conway, Derby

De-rail the current gravy train. Too many bosses and not enough productive staff.

Robert Nolan, Liverpool

Our broad intervention strategies are: 1. Poverty eradication. 2. Food security and nutrition. 3. Health and population dynamics. 4. Education. 5. Gender Equality.

Professor Okullu-Ayor Vincent, Kampala, Uganda

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

Why has it taken so long to get started? The Tories are always fast enough pushing their privatisation schemes through parliament without asking for anyone’s opinions.

Lorna Pearson

All essential services should be community assets, managed to benefit the people and not financially punish them.

Graham Towler, Northampton

The essential infrastructure of a country shouldn’t be in the hands of money-making private enterprises. They should be run for the good of the people of the country.

Paul Britton, Stevenage

All this tinkering around the edges of a corrupt system and empty threats to indifferent power companies is meaningless. Re-nationalise now.

Mark Dickson, Hebden Bridge

Stop the Great British rip-off. Bring back utilities and transport into our ownership.

Dennis Archer, Arnold
