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

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

Profit from privatisation is given to shareholders whereas profits from nationalisation is re-invested to improve the system. Government has ultimate control, not fat cats.

If electricity supply can be run at a profit, that profit should go directly to improving the country not to shareholders. I would have thought that was obvious.

Let private investment take the risk for HS2 and use the capital to re-create a national energy network.

We need water, gas, electric and the banks – back in public ownership and get this country back on track!

I totally agree with your aims.

The utilities should never have been privatised. Reverse the bad decision now.

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.

Government and corporations need to realise that they do not have the power. We, the people, do. It is the duty of us, the people, aware of this, to spread the message.

Having just six energy companies, the market place is madness and allowing them to make huge profits from working-class families should not be allowed.

Utilities should not be for profit but for the people.

Run utilities for the people and the environment

Dear British Gas, stop ripping me off.

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

Clearly nothing fundamental to life should be owned for profit.

It is time to bring them back into state hands for the good of the many not a few shareholders

I’m sick of these rip-off companies fleecing us.

Heating and hot water should not be for commercial gain.

All this tinkering around the edges of a corrupt system and empty threats to indifferent power companies is meaningless. Re-nationalise now.

I’m fed up chasing better deals.

Let’s pull the plug on the fat cats.

Stop the robbery. Give us back our power.

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

Common sense over greed, please.

Not a moment before time. I have just moved gas supply to join electricity at Good Energy, 100% renewable provider. Not another penny to British Gas for me.

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

Prices are too high.

Utilities should be in public hands and not those of profit-seeking, and often foreign, owners.

We need services run for citizens, not private profiteers.
