Run utilities for the people and the environment

Steve Black, Southampton

I just agree with everything you’ve said.

Richard Paunes, Ilfracombe

I believe in a free market economy. But remove the exceptions to the rule that are the utilities and mass transport systems.

Dave James, Tavistock

You can see the Big Six are cheating. There never was such an obvious cartel.

Bernard Harrison, London

More money for the rich and the poor suffer.

Lennard James-Tall, Llanelli

I am fed up with being ripped off by these companies.

Terence Dare, Mansfield

Re-nationalisation is the only rational path to follow. Our power is going to capitalists abroad.

Rose Kay, Berwick-on-Tweed

Bring back nationalised power for the people of Britain and stop these greedy giants lining their pockets.

Sue Stacey, Stockport

Enough is enough. People first, not profit.

Michael Shaw, Saddleworth

Energy is infrastructure, and this is the bedrock of national security.

Katie-Ellen Hazeldine, Lancaster

Long overdue.

Sue Basker, Derby

Dear British Gas, stop ripping me off.

Mike P Hodgson, Penrith

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

Margaret Kearns, Ashton-under-Lyne

This and every other essential utility should be returned to public ownership.

G E, Beckenham

It’s about time. I’m sick of getting robbed every winter.

Stephen Cooper, Peterborough

How can the Government have an ‘energy policy’ when the country is being held to ransom by privately-run, often not British, energy firms?

Ann Partington, Gateshead

It’s high time we stood together for the good of the majority.

Kevin Sefton, Oxford

Why employ all these different salespeople trying to give me a different price for the same product? Have one nationalised provider and keep prices low for everybody.

David Willey, Ayr

It seems that the only way for us ordinary people to be heard is to join together. Here’s hoping for success.

Christine Hill, London

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

Asiya Ali, Slough

We are being ripped off, have been for ages and we need to put it right once and for all.

Alison Oxley, Pickering

I’ve worked all my life, contributing to our state systems, to find that now, aged 73 and living alone, I sit wrapped in a blanket, trying to keep warm. What life is this?

Vivienne Gunning, Swansea

Energy should not be privately owned as profits go to shareholders first. Also those on the lowest incomes and on pre-pay meters pay the most for their fuel.

Casey Tremain, Portsmouth

Re-nationalise and rationalise the energy sector. As long as companies can make a profit exploiting natural resources they will continue to do so.

Julia Callow, Bournemouth

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

Tony North, Warrington

The power companies’ directors and shareholders are just vultures feasting on the misery of people with no choice.

Richard Walthew, Duns

The government are far too keen to sell everything off and give the general public sweet nothing in return.

Brian Baylis, Downham Market

The experiment of privatised energy has failed beyond a reasonable doubt. It claimed competition would deliver the most affordable prices.

Arete Tssiktsa, Salisbury

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

Andrew Meredith, Chippenham
