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

Julia Hector, Stirling

Re-nationalise without delay. Privatisation has failed miserably.

Paul Beattie, Corby

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

Tony Douglas, Lanark

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

Return energy to public ownership.

Jennifer Gorrod, Tayport

Stop privatisation now.

Gavin Symes, Farnham

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

Michaela Tiernan, Peterlee

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

Jojo Llewellyn, Swansea

The power companies’ directors and shareholders are just vultures feasting on the misery of people with no choice.

Richard Walthew, Duns

It’s about time this issue was brought to the fore.

Steven Robert Gill, Fareham

Let’s unite against these fat cats and make them reduce their profits.

Hitendra Patel, Surbiton

Another privatisation for the benefit of the City and funders of the Conservative Party.

Malcolm Grant, Plungar

Gas and electricity is a ‘must commodity’ for everyone and should be re-nationalised asap, provided they are managed by competent experts in the respective fields.

David Johnson, Leicester

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

Margaret Graham, Edinburgh

I really wish you good luck in this campaign, because everything in the UK is being privatised.

Matthew Saunders, Barnet

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

It seems that the only way for us ordinary people to be heard is to join together. Here’s hoping for success.

Christine Hill, London

Profiteering based on the sale of a commodity which is essential to life and basic human comfort is outrageous. Nationalisation would end this.

Neil Cameron, Sheffield

A publicly owned energy provider will show up the lie that competition has been good for consumers, just as East Coast has on the railways.

Tom Warnett, Slough

Utilities should not be for profit but for the people.

Marylyn Edwards, Hastings

All utilities and public transport should be in state ownership.

John Truelove, Weston-super-Mare

It’s time to take back what’s ours.

Brian McCaig, Renfrew

You know it makes sense.

Antony Silson, Keighley

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

Becky Sherwood, Totnes

Let’s get back to how it was – a more fair society.

Hazel Willmer, Barnsley

How long before the market can stand no more?

Colin Todd, Redcar

Profit is not a dirty word – all businesses need it to survive, but what we have with the energy companies is pure unvarnished greed.

David John Briggs, Southend-on-Sea

Keep power prices down and cut down on dividends to shareholders.

Dorothy Joyce Cox, Poole

Renationalise the energy utilities please.

Gaby Weiner, Lewes East Sussex

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