Stop the Great British rip-off. Bring back utilities and transport into our ownership.

Dennis Archer, Arnold

It is about time it was re-nationalised.

Paul Baker, Winsford

How long before the market can stand no more?

Colin Todd, Redcar

Energy generation should not be subject to the profit motive.

Kate Martinson, Southampton

Supporting social ideals with collective responsibility.

Mark Atkinson, Hastings

Put energy suppliers back into public ownership.

Ray Colley, Sheffield

Give us our utilities back now.

Col Farrell, Liverpool

Energy for public good not private profit.

Brian Smith, Stockton Brook

Big Six energy companies are a definite cartel. Let’s have a proper investigation into them. Ever since the utility companies were put in private hands prices have risen.

Mark Laidler, Doncaster

Fuel should be a nationalised industry, to ensure that there are certain controls in place so that everyone can stay warm.

Tracey Purnell, Edinburgh

It’s about time this issue was brought to the fore.

Steven Robert Gill, Fareham

Our energy supply is fundamental to our society and should be owned by our society.

John Hoyle, Kettering

Privatisation has conclusively failed. It’s time to rethink.

David Pointer, St Ives

Energy is now an essential for normal living, and thus shouldn’t be run for private profits.

Tony Douglas, Lanark

Honesty and firmness please.

Christine Ager, Rayleigh

Re-nationalise all public utilities.

Mary Jackson, Doncaster

Let’s pull the plug on the fat cats.

Roger Allen, London

Re-nationalise and invest profits instead of paying out to shareholders.

Wilfred John Barker, Wigton

Another privatisation for the benefit of the City and funders of the Conservative Party.

Malcolm Grant, Plungar

Re-nationalise the energy industry. Energy is a public good and therefore should be available to all, not just those who can afford it.

Tom Willis, Portsmouth

I’m tired of being overcharged and paying more for ever decreasing benefit. Nationalise now.

Julia Clarke, Croydon

I do not believe that an essential national service is best placed in the hands of private corporations. It should be owned by and serve the interests of all.

Shaun Glossop, Nottingham

It cannot be right that businesses make huge profits from energy.

John Crawford, Burscough

The attempt to create an artificial market in energy supply has demonstrably failed. It is broke so let’s fix it.

Rik Alewijnse, Feering

Stop making a profit from you own people.

Mark Whittaker, Nottinghamshire

A publicly owned energy provider will show up the lie that competition has been good for consumers, just as East Coast has on the railways.

Tom Warnett, Slough

Re-nationalise. Control of the supply of power should be on a non-profit basis. These services should be run for citizens not for profit.

Vanessa Bowen, Harrogate

It’s crazy. We have the skills and the unemployed so we should use them.

Jennifer Andrew, Oxford

I totally agree with this petition. For years it has been increasingly difficult to heat and light my home and it isn’t getting any easier.

Darren Brown, Plymouth

Enough is enough. We are sick of being ripped off and private companies profiteering while people freeze to death every winter.

Ken Walker, Milnrow
