I’m sat in a cold freezing room writing this with my feet in the cat box, just to keep some warmth and circulation going.

It’s about time. I’m sick of getting robbed every winter.

Let’s bring an end to the extortion racket that is operated by the power companies.

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.

This country should by now be secure in the provision of clean, renewable, affordable energy. It is the shame of recent governments that we are not.

De-rail the current gravy train. Too many bosses and not enough productive staff.

It is time we all said enough is enough. Thank you for organising this petition.

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

Power for the people.

I hate being held to ransom.

Energy prices are way too high. We are in debt already and next year will be worse. They are bleeding us dry.

The attempt to create an artificial market in energy supply has demonstrably failed. It is broke so let’s fix it.

Re-nationalise all the stuff that once belonged to us now.

Utilities need to return to public ownership. We’re being ripped off.

They should never have been sold off in the first place.

I am so fed up with how the corporates and bankers pull the strings of the government. There are simple and cheap pollution-free solutions to the energy problems.

Act now. We have to stick together to stop the fat cats getting fatter.

Public utilities should never be in private hands. Simple.

This needs to happen.

The government could be making all the profit and then reduce taxes and improve public services.

21st-century government has a duty to provide all its citizens with heat and light at a fair price. Ability to pay should make no difference to this basic human right.

All utilities should be in the hands of the public.

At the very least do away with a daily standing charge.

I despair when we have sold off our national assets, from rail to energy to water to money.

Privatised energy is not serving the consumer; only the energy companies and their shareholders. Nationalise energy now.

Give the money back that you have overcharged consumers.

It’s about time something like this came up. I agree wholeheartedly and wish every success to the campaign, which I will follow and support.

I never thought I would be living in fuel poverty.

To be warm is a basic human right, like a roof over your head – and education and health care.

Give us our money back you thieving gits watching us suffer.
