People should not have to choose heating over eating.

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

It should never have happened in the first place. It just cost us all a lot of money. And for what?

Private profit should never have been put before public service.

Energy supplies and infrastructure are produced by the people. They should be owned by the people.

Please return the gas and electricity industry to the same great institution which it used to be.

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

Shame on a government which thrusts even more people into fuel poverty, while its MPs claim heating expenses for their second homes.

Privatisation has failed the people. These must be brought back under state control.

Essential services must be state-owned. Power for the people, by the people.

Time to get rid of the energy racketeers.

Water and power services should be run by national authorities. Extra money needed for investment could be borrowed at fixed rates. This petition really needs to go big.

I’m sick of these rip-off companies fleecing us.

Fuel should be at cost and not be for profit.

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.

All essential services should be nationalised. That’s rail, water, energy, post office, and schools under local authority control.

It’s time to take back what’s ours.

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

Fairness for all please, not just the rich.

Stop privatisation now.

It’s time to stop rich friends of the government ripping us off. Rail, water, gas, electricity and now the mail too.

Re-nationalise.

Give the power back to the people.

Bring the power back to the people.

Get it back in our hands, with proper, democratically-consulted safeguards against bad management this time.

This is our right; We have paid ten-fold for the energy infrastructure. It is time it is returned to its rightful owners – the people of Britain.

In the interest of the people re-nationalise now.

It is about time it was re-nationalised.

Privatisation of Britain’s public services has been a disaster for consumers, the environment and the economy.

Power to and for the people. Let’s move society forward.
