Let’s get back to pre-Thatcher era when we the people owned and reaped the benefits of public ownership. It’s only right.

The shameless boss of energy giant SSE is set to walk away with £15million as a golden goodbye, after his company was fined £4.5million for ripping off customers.

The power companies were stolen from the people. Repossess them immediately.

Allowing vital national infrastructure like this to be monopolised by a small number of multinational corporations is just madness. It always was.

I couldn’t agree more with this agenda. Power to the voiceless.

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

All utilities should be in the hands of the public.

Give the money back that you have overcharged consumers.

Long overdue.

We may as well bring it back into public ownership as taxpayers are paying for it anyway.

Energy is now an essential for normal living, and thus shouldn’t be run for private profits.

Governments have failed to correct this. We must.

We’ve had enough of prices so high and having to have a house that is cold.

Enough is enough.

Bring back the CEGB and area boards and not the private companies, mainly from abroad, fleecing the British taxpayers.

We need to empower communities. People do have power. If we want to achieve something, we the people can be the agent of change and do it ourselves.

The privatisation of utilities and other national assets has been 30 years of failure and corruption. It should be stopped.

Utilities are basic necessities and should be run for the benefit of the public, not shareholders.

Enough of these cartels. They do nothing for our country.

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

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.

Why should someone else control our energy supply?

Profiteering based on the sale of a commodity which is essential to life and basic human comfort is outrageous. Nationalisation would end this.

It’s time for action. People need heat and light to survive.

All essential services should be community assets, managed to benefit the people and not financially punish them.

Making profit from essential public services shouldn’t be allowed.

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.

Market forces have left this country with the prospect of being unable to meet our energy requirements in the next few years.

Private profit should never have been put before public service.

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