Ian Grant, SunderlandIt is obscene for anyone (including the government with VAT) and especially foreigners to make money from the sale of domestic fuel. Privatisation is essential.
Kevin Ritter, Ebbw Vale.In the interest of the people re-nationalise now.
Ken Horn, SwadlincotePrivatisation has been bad for everybody apart from the very rich. The country has gone to the dogs since things were privatised.
Anne Callaghan, BlantyreAll utilities should be publicly owned and run for the benefit of the public not shareholders, with profits ploughed back in for everyone’s benefit.
Mark Laidler, DoncasterBig Six energy companies are a definite cartel. Let’s have a proper investigation into them. Ever since the utility companies were put in private hands prices have risen.
Alec Rivers, FolkestonePublic utilities should never be in private hands. Simple.
Stephen Munton, BirminghamPlease return the gas and electricity industry to the same great institution which it used to be.
Julia Hector, StirlingNo-one should be profiting out of the essentials of life; any surplus should be going back into the public purse.
Steve Brady, Newcastle-upon-TyneIf electricity supply can be run at a profit, that profit should go directly to improving the country not to shareholders. I would have thought that was obvious.
Graham Smith, Barnard CastleThe government could be making all the profit and then reduce taxes and improve public services.
Kenneth MuschampRe-nationalise energy and let’s have it work for the public once again and not the greedy shareholders and energy companies.
John Withill, LeedsAll the utility privatisations were a complete disaster for the consumer and the generating industry itself. It’s time to admit it. Get rid of these boards of directors.
Professor Okullu-Ayor Vincent, Kampala, UgandaOur broad intervention strategies are: 1. Poverty eradication. 2. Food security and nutrition. 3. Health and population dynamics. 4. Education. 5. Gender Equality.
Philip Anderson, St AlbansNationalisation is essential for all public services which, because of their nature, do not have true competition. Energy nationalisation also provides forward planning.
John Podger, WareI’m fed up chasing better deals.
Tom Organ, BristolEveryone who remembers the privatisation of utilities foresaw this happening. Re-nationalise now without compensation.
Diane Hibbert, RainworthI hate being held to ransom.
Roger Payne, HarpendenThere are some services and utilities that are too important to be in private hands, energy, health, education amongst them.
John Lynch, Pudsey.I’m sick to death of stupid and corrupt politicians making rubbish decisions. We must have independence.
Bryan White, DerbyI couldn’t agree more with this agenda. Power to the voiceless.
Peter Canham, HitchinLet us return to a fair sharing of wealth and freedom.
Sheila Johnson, RushdenI am not against privatisation but am sick of people making so much profit from the public.
John Lee, CuparGreat campaign. How to achieve it needs to be thought through carefully, but there has to be a better way of doing these things than we have at present. More imagination.
Glen Burrows, BridgwaterShame on a government which thrusts even more people into fuel poverty, while its MPs claim heating expenses for their second homes.
Maria Nelson, Newcastle-upon-TyneAll the fuel companies are rogues.
Dorothy Nelson, St AustellIt is worth trying, despite the hopelessness we all feel on these issues. See recent reports on how Iceland has resisted the power of banks and multinational corporations.
Denis Keenan, OssettIt’s time to acknowledge that some industries should be run for the benefit of people, not profit.
Eileen Dale, YorkThe energy industry is a public service and should be run as such, not for profit.
Kate Martinson, SouthamptonEnergy generation should not be subject to the profit motive.
Valerie Bartleet, WolverhamptonNot everyone has the ability to access information on cheaper deals. The result is, as in so many other areas, that those least able to afford it end up paying most.
