The water companies should also be taken back into public ownership. Water is a vital resource for everyone. The notion that it can be owned by anyone is obscene.

This is a strong possibility if we all stick together.

We don’t want more choice. We just want better service, of benefit to both individuals and companies, serving the economy as a whole, not just shareholders.

Put this resource back in the hands of the British taxpayer instead of foreign shareholders who do not care about people.

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

I support the campaign for a nationally owned energy service.

I think it is wrong that services that are virtually human rights are there for the purpose of making money.

People dying due to profiteering and government indifference is nothing short of corporate manslaughter.

People before profit.

Giving the private sector monopolies is the most stupid thing, amongst many, the Tories ever did.

All vital public services such as energy, water, transport, postal services, education and health have no place being run for profit by tax-dodging multinationals.

Investment in power is woeful. The profits are intolerable.

I’ve made the first step by ditching the big companies. I’ve moved my account to Co-operative energy, the first step to bring excessive profits back to members.

I’m sick of being exploited by money-grabbing companies. I hope their days are numbered.

It’s about time these companies were punished. They’re absolutely disgusting, the lot of them.

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

Honesty and firmness please.

When people are having to decide between heating and eating what does that say about modern day Britain? The more shareholders get the more they want. Greedy people.

Today’s report on the great energy rip-off sums it up really; Switch continually or get overcharged. We are not the idiots they take us for.

There is no real choice with the Big Six cartel we have currently. We are sick of being ripped off. It is time for progressive change in energy provision.

You can see the Big Six are cheating. There never was such an obvious cartel.

Putting food on the table is hard enough without worrying about the cost of cooking it.

Re-nationalise.

I just agree with everything you’ve said.

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.

Public utilities should be in public hands. It’s as simple as that.

I agree fully with your comments.

I’m fed up with the fat cat chairman making a mint while my bills still go up and up.

Let’s take back what was stolen from us.

Basic utilities that underpin the infrastructure of a nation should never be in the hands of private, often foreign, businesses.
