Privatization of energy resources and transport is a disgrace.

Lia Martinucci, Richmond, North Yorkshire

The only concern I have is that the government can’t even run the country. How are they going to cope with anything else?

Frank Lane, Doncaster

It is about time it was re-nationalised.

Paul Baker, Winsford

Bring back British Rail and the water, gas and electricity.

Paul Taylor, Bristol

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

Michael Lawson, Borehamwood

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

Shan Oakes, Beverley

Utility companies are cash cows for foreign equity funds. Frankly, it’s mad.

Gary Brooke, Manchester

Stop robbing your customers. How dare you raise the cost of your customers’ ordinary living expenses. You are making millions, if not billions, out of us. Shame.

Valerie Tucker, Ebbw Vale

People not profits.

Matthew Day, Leicester

These industries should never have been privatised in the first place.

Douglas Linaker, Penzance

Stop extortionate bills. Also stop extortionate estimates that neither reflect the consumption of energy or make clear that they are only estimates.

Sam Roberts, Liverpool

Let private investment take the risk for HS2 and use the capital to re-create a national energy network.

John Hudghton, Buxton

I fully support the re-nationalisation of our energy.

Bernice King, Teddington

Regulator as much good as a chocolate teapot.

Steven Hearne, Doncaster

Supporting social ideals with collective responsibility.

Mark Atkinson, Hastings

The energy companies are ripping us off in order to make fat profits. This is wrong.

Colin Anderson, Dunstable

Privatisation instead of state monopoly was meant to lead to competition and lower prices for consumers. This hasn’t happened and rich bosses make even more profit.

Patricia Borlenghi, Manningtree

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

Martin Cummins, Edinburgh

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

I was forced to debilitating depression and suicide by N-power’s false billing. My MP wrote to Voker Beckers and we have no reply a year on.

Garry Clarkson, Leeds

Utilities (power and water etc.) should be owned by the taxpayers who, after all, are subsidising private companies.

Margaret Gain, Stratford-upon-Avon

All in it together, again.

Graham Huntington, York

This is a strong possibility if we all stick together.

Ollie Abdullah, Essex

It’s time that the people had control of these companies and paid fair prices, instead of being ripped off for huge profits and making poorer people suffer.

Lynda Rea, Ware

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

Andy Wilkinson, Norwich

How can we boycott them?

Jean Fernandes, London

Monopoly may be a popular game but in real life it’s no fun for the customer. It’s just a cartel in disguise.

Caroline Abbott, Middlesbrough

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

Heating and lighting are essential commodities in the UK. They should not be profit-based industries. They should be run by society for society.

Lindy Furby, Edinburgh
