End this disastrous privatisation.

All essential services should be nationalised. That’s rail, water, energy, post office, and schools under local authority control.

Everything should be publicly owned. The government has no say in the matter.

private companies are more concerned about profits for shareholders than providing a service. This is inevitable if they want to attract investors.

Certain commodities should be owned by the people, for the people. Energy, public transport, water.

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.

Re-nationalise the energy and power industries and make government answerable to the people.

It’s time for a return to non-profit utilities, providing public services in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

The ridiculous greed of all energy companies and their suppliers must stop. We must also find ways of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels without it costing the earth.

Our utilities should not be in private hands.

I just want a reliable, fair, publicly-owned utility, not a never-ending cycle of chasing different suppliers to get good value.

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.

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

Before the sell-off there were 60million shareholders, each with one equal share and equal rights. Now the many pay the few, with no say, rights or choice. Our time has come.

Utilities are too important to the public to be run at their expense for private profit.

The privatisation of utilities and other national assets has been 30 years of failure and corruption. It should be stopped.

Access to power is a basic human right and one that needs to be affordable for all.

I am fully in favour of re-nationalising the power industry and the railways.

This government is selling UK down the river good and proper. I have to work two days to pay for one week’s energy and I’m not wallowing in centrally heated bliss.

We need to get back to a point where basics such as heat and light are affordable to all. People before profit.

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

How about paying for energy usage with, say, 3% income tax? The rich would pay more than the poor. Incentivise low usage by dropping the percentage.

Basic needs should not be in the hands of big business.

It should never have happened in the first place. It just cost us all a lot of money. And for what?

Our broad intervention strategies are: 1. Poverty eradication. 2. Food security and nutrition. 3. Health and population dynamics. 4. Education. 5. Gender Equality.

Privatisation of Britain’s public services has been a disaster for consumers, the environment and the economy.

Investment in power is woeful. The profits are intolerable.

Our energy needs to be renewable and prices need to be fairer for all.

Privatisation drives up prices and drives down quality.

I just agree with everything you’ve said.
