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.

Geoff Walker, Stoke On Trent

I support the dream but has anyone any idea of the cost of re-nationalising?

Rob Seed, Worcester

Our utilities should not be in private hands.

Ian Dargo, Bromley

Is it a service for the people to keep warm this winter or is it a business to make the profits bigger. If everyone stopped payment for one month they’d fail big time.

Stuart Wooldridge, Pontefract

The energy rip-off needs to end now.

Alan Ralph, Watford

Energy supply and distribution requires long term and nationwide co-ordination. Privatisation gives no reason to look to the future when a quick buck can be made now.

Alexander Scott, Ardrossan

Public services for people not profit.

Laurie Walmsley,

Investment in power is woeful. The profits are intolerable.

John Abbott, Leeds

This has ripped off the ordinary people long enough.

Pauline Hacker, Preston

Privatization of energy resources and transport is a disgrace.

Lia Martinucci, Richmond, North Yorkshire

Bring the power back to the people.

Alex Burnell, Ipswich

Give the money back that you have overcharged consumers.

Steve Gordon, Bedford

Why do we need to be held to ransom by the power companies? Price increases mean more shareholder dividends. Return them to public ownership.

Brian Bailey, Manchester

We need services which operate for the benefit of the public, and the ability to re-invest money without losing it to shareholders.

Robert Charlesworth, Carlisle

Our privatised utilities are a joke. The very nature of this fragmented system has the effect of pushing up costs and the evidence of anti-competitive pricing is obvious.

Guy Falkenau, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Full nationalisation of all the utilities is the only way to end the rip-off.

Robert McArdle, Coventry

Energy should not be in the hands of foreign companies. We the people should own it. France and Germany would never privatise strategic industries.

Marjorie Arnold, Wigan

You’ve had your time fat cats.

William Hunt, Southport

Great campaign. How to achieve it needs to be thought through carefully, but there has to be a better way of doing these things than we have at present. More imagination.

John Lee, Cupar

Why should someone else control our energy supply?

Nigel Apperley, Bournemouth

Energy for the public not profit.

James Graham, Croydon

It’s high time we stood together for the good of the majority.

Kevin Sefton, Oxford

Power (back) to the people.

Glyn Xie-Smith, Letchworth

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

Malcolm Grant, Plungar

Nationalisation is essential for all public services which, because of their nature, do not have true competition. Energy nationalisation also provides forward planning.

Philip Anderson, St Albans

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

Dorothy Joyce Cox, Poole

This should never have been privatised.

Dilys Hadley, Exmouth

All utilities should be under state control, in order to control prices and ensure supply whilst cutting out fat cat profiteering.

Peter Jones, Loughborough

Enough is enough. People first, not profit.

Michael Shaw, Saddleworth
