Once again, another classic example of how privatisation doesn’t work. The government will see this country on its knees just so they don’t have to lose face.

It seems that the only way for us ordinary people to be heard is to join together. Here’s hoping for success.

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

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

This is pure Conservative ideology that has driven this incorrect policy, which no other country of note agrees with.

Privatisation has not worked for the majority of people.

With this bunch of bully-boys in power, the campaign for re-nationalisation based on cold hard numbers, highlighting how we’ve lost out is needed more than ever.

Let’s pull the plug on the fat cats.

Trusting energy companies to run their businesses for the benefit of customers is naive. Privatisation means profits first and last.

It’s time to stop rich friends of the government ripping us off. Rail, water, gas, electricity and now the mail too.

All the main utilities should be under public ownership. Rich individuals should not be able to profit from them.

I too support the re-nationalisation of energy supply in the UK.

Energy for the public not profit.

No compensation for the shareholders who got the shares at a bargain price.

Services for the people, not private profit.

When a company is nationalised, any profits can come back to the people.

It can never be right or in the best interests of the many to have power in private hands. If the state runs it correctly it could use the profits for better services.

Tory MPs are only concerned with making the rich richer at the expense of the poor. Equality? No.

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

Please take note of this petition.

This has ripped off the ordinary people long enough.

Everything has been said. I, like many others, am tired of corporate business profits being placed before the genuine need of the British people.

Profiteering based on the sale of a commodity which is essential to life and basic human comfort is outrageous. Nationalisation would end this.

We need government-run, not-for-profit energy supplies.

Let’s unite against these fat cats and make them reduce their profits.

The time is right to take back the industries into public hands for benefit of the public.

It’s time to acknowledge that some industries should be run for the benefit of people, not profit.

Stop the rip-off.

This has been waiting to be done, so many thanks for starting this petition. Energy and water have to be in the hands of the people, not profit-making companies.

Public services for people not profit.
