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

Robert McArdle, Coventry

Our heating is our biggest cost nowadays.

Glynis Marshall, Nottingham

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

Frank Lane, Doncaster

One of the evil things the Tories did was privatisation.

Martin Webb, Goole

Fantastic idea.

Marja Bonada, Oswestry

We only demand back what was once ours.

Jim Granter, Alsager

I have been saying we should re-nationalise the industry for years.

Richard Smith, Devizes

Energy companies are too greedy. Our sick, elderly and working-class can’t afford to heat their homes. Re-nationalise as soon as possible and keep us out of debt.

Glenda Ratcliffe, Tunbridge Wells

We need cheaper fuel.

Susan Rogers, Whalley Range

I am so fed up with how the corporates and bankers pull the strings of the government. There are simple and cheap pollution-free solutions to the energy problems.

Yvonne Mustapha, High Wycombe

I am not against privatisation but am sick of people making so much profit from the public.

Sheila Johnson, Rushden

Give the people their utilities back. They’re too important for the privateers to own.

Michael Burt, Plymouth

Even the Victorians had the sense to understand that utilities so vital should not be private.

Hilary Lowson, Bathgate

I’m 100% behind you on this. It’s time to favour people rather than profits. We need to re-nationalise all utilities and public transport.

Philip Joyce, Dundee

The government could be making all the profit and then reduce taxes and improve public services.

Graham Smith, Barnard Castle

The water companies should also be taken back into public ownership. Water is a vital resource for everyone. The notion that it can be owned by anyone is obscene.

Roger Wells, Stourbridge

Stop the Great British rip-off. Bring back utilities and transport into our ownership.

Dennis Archer, Arnold

It’s time to stop the greed.

Michaela Armstrong, Manchester

Government and corporations need to realise that they do not have the power. We, the people, do. It is the duty of us, the people, aware of this, to spread the message.

Jack Carmenta, Leamington Spa

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

Everyone who remembers the privatisation of utilities foresaw this happening. Re-nationalise now without compensation.

Tom Organ, Bristol

Time to draw the line in the sand methinks.

Paul Burgess, Torquay

In the interest of the people re-nationalise now.

Kevin Ritter, Ebbw Vale.

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

At the very least do away with a daily standing charge.

Janet Brooke, Nottingham

Nationalise. Not for profit.

James Gray, Edinburgh

It’s plain common sense.

Roger Dickings, Peterborough

More money for the rich and the poor suffer.

Lennard James-Tall, Llanelli
