I’m fed up with what should be national institutions being used as cash cows for a few rich fat cats.

Simon Godfrey, Kilwinning

All in it together, again.

Graham Huntington, York

I prefer the country’s energy supply in the hands of politicians and not capitalists, but the margin is very slight.

Maggie Lewis, Waltham on the Wolds

Without a doubt we need to re-nationalise power companies, as rampant free-market economics is causing misery for the majority.

Stephen Michael, Horley

Power for the people.

Leah Etteridge, Chatham

Privatisation has just become a way for fat cats to monopolise and form cartel-like structures of our energy, trains etc. Re-nationalise.

Hannah Smith, Loughborough

Gas and electricity is a ‘must commodity’ for everyone and should be re-nationalised asap, provided they are managed by competent experts in the respective fields.

David Johnson, Leicester

We can but hope.

Mabel Smith, Swindon

All makes sense to me. Do it now.

Matt Haskins, London

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

Pete & Nikki Perry, Stevenage

I’m just sick of being ripped off by these greedy power companies.

Gillian Hawkins, Poole

All the utility privatisations were a complete disaster for the consumer and the generating industry itself. It’s time to admit it. Get rid of these boards of directors.

John Withill, Leeds

I campaigned against electricity privatisation when I worked in the industry and served on the NEC of the Electrical Power Engineers’ Association. I am vindicated.

Ken Keable, Stoke-sub-Hamdon

Great campaign. How to achieve it needs to be thought through carefully, but there has to be a better way of doing these things than we have at present. More imagination.

John Lee, Cupar

All energy companies should be re-nationalised and green energy supported.

Allen Lane, Brighton

Energy to serve the sustainable needs of the many, not the short-term profit of the elite few.

Andrew Duncan, Exeter

Give us our utilities back now.

Col Farrell, Liverpool

We were conned by the Conservatives. Profiteering at public expense by these cartels is evident. We must have not-for-profit railways and all utilities.

Philip Cole, Barnsley

Let the voices of the people be heard.

Julian Bell, West Molesey

If this industry had not been privatised by the Thatcher regime, think how much revenue it would be generating for the State.

Kathleen Parker, Manchester

People dying due to profiteering and government indifference is nothing short of corporate manslaughter.

Malcolm Palfrey, Uckfield

Energy for the public not profit.

James Graham, Croydon

Not everyone has the ability to access information on cheaper deals. The result is, as in so many other areas, that those least able to afford it end up paying most.

Valerie Bartleet, Wolverhampton

It’s about time the many stopped suffering, to line the pockets of the elite few.

Dean Forsyth, Southend

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.

Melanie Pownall-Harris, Radlett

Please take note of this petition.

Mary Hodges, Newport, Isle of Wight

Give us back our freedom that our parents fought for and stop ripping us off.

Susan Aldrich, Filey

Re-nationalise all power and water companies now.

Len White, Coventry

Re-nationalise energy now.

Gary Smith, Milton Keynes
