As an old age pensioner on a limited budget I am finding it increasingly difficult to manage.

Sheila Reilly, Coventry

It makes sense for ‘natural monopoly’ industries, providing necessities like energy, to be in public hands. Profits directly invested into insulating homes.

Rosie Leach, Machynlleth

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.

Roger Wells, Stourbridge

Let’s pull the plug on the fat cats.

Roger Allen, London

Essential services should be nationalised services. If they want businesses to make money from private investors, they should issue bonds in the business.

Chris Hyde, Dunstable

This will inevitably happen. In the future there will be wars over energy and we will all no doubt suffer.

John Birbeck, York

It’s about time the British people were helped by this government.

David Blandford, Nomansland

Our utilities should be in public ownership. They can be run well on a not-for-profit basis. We are being exploited by ideologically driven policies.

Mark Wilcox, Holmfirth

At the moment energy companies can print money. The Government is powerless to stop them.

George Arrowsmith

Re-nationalise without delay. Privatisation has failed miserably.

Paul Beattie, Corby

It’s about time the many stopped suffering, to line the pockets of the elite few.

Dean Forsyth, Southend

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

Privatisation has been bad for everybody apart from the very rich. The country has gone to the dogs since things were privatised.

Ken Horn, Swadlincote

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

Garry Boyle, Brentwood

Nationalisation is best with no dividends to pay.

Margaret Evans, Sheffield

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

Re-nationalise the energy industry. Energy is a public good and therefore should be available to all, not just those who can afford it.

Tom Willis, Portsmouth

Before the sell-off there were 60million shareholders, each with one equal share and equal rights. Now the many pay the few, with no say, rights or choice. Our time has come.

Jon Crinks, Liskeard

Power to and for the people. Let’s move society forward.

Martin Catchpole, Ipswich

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

Bernard Harrison, London

This is our right; We have paid ten-fold for the energy infrastructure. It is time it is returned to its rightful owners – the people of Britain.

Karshan Moodley, London

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’m fed up chasing better deals.

John Podger, Ware

The reason we are annually held to ransom is to feed the grotesque profits of organisations that were taken away from us. They were ours, give them back.

Sara Smith-Petersen, Kettering

The more of us unite and speak out the better.

Pippa Richardson, Swansea

We’re told we have fundamental human rights in this country but do they actually mean anything when people are freezing to death in their own homes?

Callum Gill, London

Privatisation of power is a broken concept. Re-nationalisation would literally bring power back to the people.

Anthony Phillips, Leeds

How can we boycott them?

Jean Fernandes, London

We are the majority, ordinary working people reduced to living hand to mouth. This is the reality.

Andrew Rogers, Grimsby

Sounds good to me.

Jane Taylor, Doncaster
