Enough is enough of foreign companies owning our utilities and holding people to ransom.

It is obscene for anyone (including the government with VAT) and especially foreigners to make money from the sale of domestic fuel. Privatisation is essential.

All profit to be re-invested in the service.

Access to power is a basic human right and one that needs to be affordable for all.

It’s time to stop rich friends of the government ripping us off. Rail, water, gas, electricity and now the mail too.

The energy rip-off needs to end now.

At last. Well done you people and may your good work continue.

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

When I was a teenager I watched Thatcher’s privatisation of UK assets and knew it was bad for citizens and then labour betrayed us. Time to return to rightful owners.

It should never have been privatised.

All utilities should belong to the people, not profit-making private companies.

Life is too short.

Go.

Once again, another classic example of how privatisation doesn’t work. The government will see this country on its knees just so they don’t have to lose face.

Excellent cause. Well done. When the government washes its hands of its responsibility to the people, the people must take action to protect themselves.

Why do people not shift away from the Big Six? If everyone did they’d soon think again about their prices.

Give us our power back and allow us the means to produce our own energy on a community basis without the political constraints of large corporations.

The essential infrastructure of a country shouldn’t be in the hands of money-making private enterprises. They should be run for the good of the people of the country.

Power is too important to be left to private business.

It is just daylight robbery, but what is there to stop them? No-one wants to say too much with the election so close so we get just the same clap-trap.

Energy prices are way too high. We are in debt already and next year will be worse. They are bleeding us dry.

De-rail the current gravy train. Too many bosses and not enough productive staff.

The only concern I have is that the government can’t even run the country. How are they going to cope with anything else?

these are necessities not luxuries, so the price needs to be reasonable

It’s time to turn back the tide. Private is not always best. Let’s have more pride in civic institutions.

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

Stop the robbery. Give us back our power.

Energy is an essential part of life. We shouldn’t be held to ransom by those who are only out for profit. Nationalise and reinvest the profits and/or reduce bills.

Good idea. As it would cost, why not set up a publicly owned company, cut the other’s prices and they will soon cease trading?

I never thought I would be living in fuel poverty.
