  Chris and Marek.
  
  You make too big of an assumption that fuel prices would come down. Even nationalised utilities would have to meet market forces and fuel will still need to be bought on the futures market.
  
  You have provided no evidence other than blind assertions and faith that it would be better if these businesses were nationalised and in doing so you go against the hard and extensive experience of the 1970's and earlier. To do that you are willing to throw a lot of vulnerable people to the wolves at a massive cost to the public exchequer. You will also destroy investment into the UK and create chaos in the markets.
  
  You both should find out more about the markets and the way they work. If you dont have investments that are dependant upon the stock exchange I would suggest that you are very much in the minority. Long gone are the days when investing in the markets was just for the well off and rich. Long term investing into the markets, in a careful and thoughtful way, with advice, is not gambling but looking after your future and that of your family while providing industry & businesses the investment 'fuel' it needs.
  
  Keith. You have to understand that profit is not the enemy, losses are. Profit is what generates employment and tax revenue along with job security. Every good business looks after their customers, but mistakes and errors do happen, we have all had experience of problems but also there is much that is good and well managed (often going unremarked). At least with the free enterprise system if something goes wrong you can complain and take your business elsewhere. Unlike State monopollies.
