Privatisation has become a nightmare from which we would like to wake up.

Privatisation drives up prices and drives down quality.

Well done to our various governments of the last 30 years for screwing us all over and leaving themselves looked after. For shame, give us all a chance to live.

We have sold off too many of our utilities that should be owned by the taxpayers. Water, Gas, Electricity are all owned by foreigners.

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

It was, will be and is the property of those who are the property of this land. Let’s manage it so users, planet and the power industry workers get what they need.

People who have a physical disability or learning disability and the elderly are most at risk with all the high charges.

It’s about time these companies were punished. They’re absolutely disgusting, the lot of them.

I just want a reliable, fair, publicly-owned utility, not a never-ending cycle of chasing different suppliers to get good value.

How long before the market can stand no more?

I want public utilities in state hands, not those of corporations.

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.

The supply of a universal commodity, such as energy, should be run on a non-profit basis.

How can we boycott them?

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

Nothing good ever came from privatisation.

All this tinkering around the edges of a corrupt system and empty threats to indifferent power companies is meaningless. Re-nationalise now.

All the fuel companies are rogues.

For profit’ is always likely to place profit before social considerations.

You know it makes sense.

Energy supply and distribution requires long term and nationwide co-ordination. Privatisation gives no reason to look to the future when a quick buck can be made now.

I am not a left-wing supporter but the decision to privatise energy (much of which is now owned by non-UK companies) (and water companies) was misconceived.

Why do we need the money-grabbing middle men? Give us back our energy industry and plough the profits back into the infrastructure, not into the pockets of shareholders.

Let’s get back to how it was – a more fair society.

Re-nationalise without delay. Privatisation has failed miserably.

It’s a disgrace – pure greed. We need to have energy re-nationalised.

Profit from privatisation is given to shareholders whereas profits from nationalisation is re-invested to improve the system. Government has ultimate control, not fat cats.

Too many million-pound salaries for energy company CEOs while the elderly and others choose between heating and lighting and eating.

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

The sooner this happens the better.
