Maggie Sold off the taxpayers’ property without their permission, leading to the chaos and profiteering, substandard maintenance and horrendous price Increases.

John Price, Oakham

Utilities need to return to public ownership. We’re being ripped off.

Mike Seaman, Uxbridge

It’s about time this issue was brought to the fore.

Steven Robert Gill, Fareham

I agree with everything except the climate change bit. I just don’t believe Al Gore and the IPCC. I put my trust in honest men not cheats.

Richard Kent, Chard

Energy is clearly not safe in private hands.

Caroline Charles, London

People not profits.

Peter Treadwell, Melton Mowbray

Energy for the public, not for profit! Besides, if it makes a profit, surely this would be better invested in the country than in shareholders pockets.

Richard Robinson, Scarborough

You know it is fair.

Susanna Rance, Plymouth

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

Martin Catchpole, Ipswich

Power to the many in the hands of the many.

Bernie Lally, Northampton

In the interest of the people re-nationalise now.

Kevin Ritter, Ebbw Vale.

It’s time for a return to non-profit utilities, providing public services in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

Linda Urquhart, Loughborough

Act now. We have to stick together to stop the fat cats getting fatter.

Margaret Kearns, Ashton-under-Lyne

Honesty and firmness please.

Christine Ager, Rayleigh

This needs to happen. The greedy capitalists have taken the rug from under us and left fellow members of our nation with the difficult choice of heating or eating.

Chris Yates, Northwich

Because energy is too important to be left to the spivs.

Dave Waite, Lincoln

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.

Peter Moss, Birmingham

Privatisation has conclusively failed. It’s time to rethink.

David Pointer, St Ives

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

Dorothy Joyce Cox, Poole

I am not a left-wing supporter but the decision to privatise energy (much of which is now owned by non-UK companies) (and water companies) was misconceived.

Geoffrey Knipe, Peterborough

Power to the little men and women.

Stuart Holden, Nottingham

Supporting social ideals with collective responsibility.

Mark Atkinson, Hastings

Energy is a public resource. Surely it makes sense that its production and distribution is managed for the public good, not massive profit for a tiny minority of people.

Darrin Green, Horsham

Re-nationalise.

Paul Scotter, Norwich

I transferred to the Co-op from British Gas and Immediately cut my energy costs by a third.

Phillip Walton, Basildon

I have photo-voltaics and have done a lot to make my home energy efficient. It would be good if the government allowed us to do the same with national energy provision.

Polly Moyer, Bristol

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

Andy Wilkinson, Norwich

Let’s unite against these fat cats and make them reduce their profits.

Hitendra Patel, Surbiton

Let’s pull the plug on the fat cats.

Roger Allen, London

Privatisation wouldn’t have been so bad if the prices hadn’t been driven up so far so fast and the services degraded. Shareholders and businessmen are all greedy.

Sandra Humphries, Southsea
