I’m fed up chasing better deals.

John Podger, Ware

It’s time to stop the greed.

Michaela Armstrong, Manchester

This should never have been privatised.

Dilys Hadley, Exmouth

Let’s pull the plug on the fat cats.

Roger Allen, London

How can something so vital for human life be used to make a few richer?

Peter Sharpe, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Everything has been said. I, like many others, am tired of corporate business profits being placed before the genuine need of the British people.

Stella Davies, Wrexham

We were conned by the Conservatives. Profiteering at public expense by these cartels is evident. We must have not-for-profit railways and all utilities.

Philip Cole, Barnsley

It should never have happened in the first place. It just cost us all a lot of money. And for what?

Brian Cann, Yeovil

Energy and energy policy should be owned and controlled by the people, not the energy companies. We need a renewable revolution, a fossil-free energy system now.

Steve Jenkins, Lancaster

The recent price increases by the major energy companies prey on the most vulnerable members of society solely to boost already record high profits.

Gerald Halligan, Edinburgh

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

Malcolm Palfrey, Uckfield

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

All utilities and public transport should be in state ownership.

John Truelove, Weston-super-Mare

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

Rob Seed, Worcester

That’s it. We’ve had enough. You can push the people so far. Now we are taking our power back.

Angela Holcroft, North Berwick

Prices are too high.

John Taylor, Guisborough

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

Mark Arnold, Southend-on-Sea

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

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

Michael Oram, Dorchester

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

Please return the gas and electricity industry to the same great institution which it used to be.

Stephen Munton, Birmingham

I’m sat in a cold freezing room writing this with my feet in the cat box, just to keep some warmth and circulation going.

Bob Green, Sheffield

Public utilities should never be in private hands. Simple.

Alec Rivers, Folkestone

Let’s take utilities back. They’re not for making a few people wealthy.

Sue Rowies, St Ives

It’s about time we stopped foreign countries buying into us and ripping out our roots.

Elaine Whybrow, Dartford

This needs to happen.

Joseph Payne

Re-nationalise the energy and power industries and make government answerable to the people.

Robert Rudge, Glaston, Rutland

Profit from privatisation is given to shareholders whereas profits from nationalisation is re-invested to improve the system. Government has ultimate control, not fat cats.

Karl Snowdon, Gateshead

People should come before profit, and investment in renewable energy is urgently needed for the sake of future generations.

Helen Eynon, Penzance

private companies are more concerned about profits for shareholders than providing a service. This is inevitable if they want to attract investors.

Barbara Brogan, Letchworth
