Enough is enough.

Rick Long

It is about time the ownership of the electricity and gas industries was passed to the people of the country.

Philip Cumberland, Peterborough

Energy generation should not be subject to the profit motive.

Kate Martinson, Southampton

The government are far too keen to sell everything off and give the general public sweet nothing in return.

Brian Baylis, Downham Market

Something as essential as our energy should not be in private hands.

Leigh Chorlton, Edinburgh

Don’t they think we pay enough? The government gave the nurses 1% and then the power companies put their prices up by 10%.

Alan Bettridge, London

Public ownership can be local and democratic. It does not have to be 1940s style state bureaucracy.

John Tilley, Kingston upon Thames

They should belong to the people.

Anthony Curtis, Scarborough

It’s a disgrace – pure greed. We need to have energy re-nationalised.

Vi Dunning, Thornton Cleveleys

Enough is enough of foreign companies owning our utilities and holding people to ransom.

Tony North, Warrington

Of all the public services this has the strongest link between modern day human needs and climate change. We cannot leave it to the greedy pigs to manage.

David Lyons, Aylesbury

I prefer the country’s energy supply in the hands of politicians and not capitalists, but the margin is very slight.

Maggie Lewis, Waltham on the Wolds

It’s time to take back what’s ours.

Brian McCaig, Renfrew

The huge growth in profit taken by the Big Six over the last four years – from

Jane Lowry, Falmouth

The sooner this happens the better.

Mark Jordan, Ripley, Surrey

It’s about time something like this came up. I agree wholeheartedly and wish every success to the campaign, which I will follow and support.

Richard Lock, Dorking

Privatised energy is not serving the consumer; only the energy companies and their shareholders. Nationalise energy now.

Chuck Elliot, Sheffield

No profit should be taken from providing people with essential services.

David Farmer, Yorkshire

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

Mark Arnold, Southend-on-Sea

The ridiculous greed of all energy companies and their suppliers must stop. We must also find ways of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels without it costing the earth.

H Moon, Brighton

Don’t expect any help from left wing politicians.

Roy Koerner, Wylam

Re-nationalisation is the only answer.

David Britten, Farnham

At the very least do away with a daily standing charge.

Janet Brooke, Nottingham

Taking out the running costs of so many companies could reduce prices instantly.

Agw Pritchard, Holmfirth

Price rises due to increased commodity costs are rapidly passed on in full by the Big Six to consumers. Cost reductions are not. They are exploiting the consumer.

Jeffrey Loffill, Knaresborough

Needs to be joined together to give a combined, united service.

Robert Webster, Cambridge

Profits from utility, bus and rail companies should be ploughed back into infrastructure, not shareholders” pockets.

Jeremy Hoyte, Oswestry

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

I’m sick to death of stupid and corrupt politicians making rubbish decisions. We must have independence.

John Lynch, Pudsey.

Privatisation has not worked.

Lynne Richardson, Hucknall
