Utility companies are cash cows for foreign equity funds. Frankly, it’s mad.

Keep power prices down and cut down on dividends to shareholders.

Public utilities should never have been privatised. The Big Six are becoming more expensive because they are not exploiting renewables.

It’s about time something like this came up. I agree wholeheartedly and wish every success to the campaign, which I will follow and support.

Our broad intervention strategies are: 1. Poverty eradication. 2. Food security and nutrition. 3. Health and population dynamics. 4. Education. 5. Gender Equality.

Stop the rip-off.

21st-century government has a duty to provide all its citizens with heat and light at a fair price. Ability to pay should make no difference to this basic human right.

Things that everyone needs to survive should not be subject to profits for a few.

Give the people their utilities back. They’re too important for the privateers to own.

Re-nationalise all public utilities.

Energy, rail and health are strategic resources that should be government controlled. We’ve already got health, so there are two to go.

About damn time. Let’s hope many more signatures follow.

Where is the competition? Even Cameron called it a cartel.

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

Privatisation instead of state monopoly was meant to lead to competition and lower prices for consumers. This hasn’t happened and rich bosses make even more profit.

Energy should not be in the hands of foreign companies. We the people should own it. France and Germany would never privatise strategic industries.

All utilities should be publicly owned and run for the benefit of the public not shareholders, with profits ploughed back in for everyone’s benefit.

Re-nationalise all energy.

It’s plain common sense.

obviously privatisation has been a disaster. All the evidence is there. Thatcher was wrong. We need a proper left wing spokesman to highlight this.

Energy is too important to be a wealth provider for shareholders of private companies.

Of all the public services this has the strongest link between modern day human needs and climate change. We cannot leave it to the greedy pigs to manage.

If we are all in this together then why aren’t the profits to shareholders falling?

Why don’t they learn?

It’s about time we stopped foreign countries buying into us and ripping out our roots.

You know it makes sense.

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

I agree we need not-for-profit, but with a good business structure of course.

An efficiently run and publicly accountable energy provider must be better than a pure profit model.

Something as essential as power generation should not be in the hands of people whose only interest is in short term shareholder gain.
