The water companies should also be taken back into public ownership. Water is a vital resource for everyone. The notion that it can be owned by anyone is obscene.

Power for the people and to the people – people power. as John Lennon put it – Love and Peace.

The Big Six are corporate thieves.

All essential services should be community assets, managed to benefit the people and not financially punish them.

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

I despair when we have sold off our national assets, from rail to energy to water to money.

Re-nationalise without delay. Privatisation has failed miserably.

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

When I was a teenager I watched Thatcher’s privatisation of UK assets and knew it was bad for citizens and then labour betrayed us. Time to return to rightful owners.

Crooks every one of them.

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.

I’m sick to death of stupid and corrupt politicians making rubbish decisions. We must have independence.

Return energy to public ownership.

Let’s start putting people before profit.

It’s time that the people had control of these companies and paid fair prices, instead of being ripped off for huge profits and making poorer people suffer.

I love this campaign. It’s time to smash the myth that privatisation is good for consumers.

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

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

Everyone who remembers the privatisation of utilities foresaw this happening. Re-nationalise now without compensation.

Another public asset stolen from the people.

All energy should be state owned.

Energy is clearly not safe in private hands.

Price rises due to increased commodity costs are rapidly passed on in full by the Big Six to consumers. Cost reductions are not. They are exploiting the consumer.

Fuel to keep warm, heat water and cook food should be affordable for all. Re-nationalise the energy firms. People before profits.

Customer choice in the provision of essential utilities makes no sense. Nationalisation of these industries serves the people of the country well.

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.

Whatever excuses they come up with, its a cartel and that’s illegal.

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.

Everybody needs it, it’s essential and should not be run by firms from outside the UK who are only interested in making money.

This is something that should be looked at, but it won’t be easy, as money and shareholders and government are involved.
