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

Lives before excessive profit.

Our privatised utilities are a joke. The very nature of this fragmented system has the effect of pushing up costs and the evidence of anti-competitive pricing is obvious.

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

Give us our money back you thieving gits watching us suffer.

Go.

obviously privatisation has been a disaster. All the evidence is there. Thatcher was wrong. We need a proper left wing spokesman to highlight this.

I’d rather subsidise my fellow citizens than a bunch of fat cats.

It’s time we stopped treating our neighbours as competitors, and for politicians playing the electorate off against each other. Let’s come together for the common good.

Everyone 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.

We need government-run, not-for-profit energy supplies.

Bring the power back to the people.

It’s necessary.

No compensation for the shareholders who got the shares at a bargain price.

Let’s get this job done.

All utilities should be publicly owned and run for the benefit of the public not shareholders, with profits ploughed back in for everyone’s benefit.

These energy companies are like a mafia, using the consumer as a cash cow. The Government doesn’t want to do anything to stop it because half the MPs are shareholders.

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

People would be happier paying tax if the essential services were to be or stay nationalised.

Privatisation has become a nightmare from which we would like to wake up.

Either re-nationalise or be run as social enterprise which reinvests any excess into better infrastructure or gives to community projects.

It can never be right or in the best interests of the many to have power in private hands. If the state runs it correctly it could use the profits for better services.

I challenge the powers that be to demonstrate so much as a single benefit to consumers from Thatcher’s privatisation of the energy utilities. Just one?

Only public ownership will deliver a service for the people, not profits for shareholders.

21st-century government has a duty to provide all its citizens with heat and light at a fair price. Ability to pay should make no difference to this basic human right.

Public services for people not profit.

Privatisation of public industries is a proven failure.

The fact that the privatised energy companies can threaten the UK with blackouts has made the need for nationalisation more urgent.

Stop the robbery. Give us back our power.

All public utilities should be in public (not private) hands.
