The Big Six are corporate thieves.

There are some services and utilities that are too important to be in private hands, energy, health, education amongst them.

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

Time to repair the damage the last Tory government did. I wonder if they are brave enough?

Regulator as much good as a chocolate teapot.

Let us return to a fair sharing of wealth and freedom.

Capitalism or a planet – it’s one or the other.

We, the people, should benefit from the basic right of fuel supply at a cheap price, not line the pockets of the already rich while others freeze to death.

Tell Sid he’s a thief.

We need to re-think how our power is produced, by developing local power production rather than the out-dated transportation of power across the country by pylons.

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

I hate being held to ransom.

The voice and will of the silent majority needs to be heard.

Re-nationalise all power and water companies now.

Privatisation wouldn’t have been so bad if the prices hadn’t been driven up so far so fast and the services degraded. Shareholders and businessmen are all greedy.

It’s plain common sense.

Energy generation should not be subject to the profit motive.

Power for the people.

Energy should never have been privatised. We want it back.

Bring back nationalised power for the people of Britain and stop these greedy giants lining their pockets.

I have three kids and cannot afford to heat the house for them. It’s ridiculous that these power companies think it’s acceptable to charge the amount they do.

Re–nationalise now.

This isn’t just about energy prices. Look at the scandals surrounding G4S, Serco and Atos. Some things should not be privatised.

Public utilities should never be in private hands. Simple.

The energy companies are ripping us off in order to make fat profits. This is wrong.

Sustainable, affordable and communal energy.

The millions in profits should be used to keep prices down, not line the pockets of directors and shareholders.

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.

How can the Government have an ‘energy policy’ when the country is being held to ransom by privately-run, often not British, energy firms?

It’s time to stop the greed.
