Price rises due to increased commodity costs are rapidly passed on in full by the Big Six to consumers. Cost reductions are not. They are exploiting the consumer.

Jeffrey Loffill, Knaresborough

Give the money back that you have overcharged consumers.

Steve Gordon, Bedford

I would like to put my name to this petition and I actively support the campaign to bring back our energy network into public ownership.

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

Denis Keenan, Ossett

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

Penny Lomas, Leeds

Time to draw the line in the sand methinks.

Paul Burgess, Torquay

Privatisation equals prices up, service down, profits to investment bankers.

Full nationalisation of all the utilities is the only way to end the rip-off.

Robert McArdle, Coventry

Honesty and integrity. Be the first with these values.

Steve Brooks, Finedon

This is very important – do not ignore the voices of your people.

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

Energy supplies and infrastructure are produced by the people. They should be owned by the people.

Paul Mclean, Leeds

Sounds good to me.

Jane Taylor, Doncaster

This issue is far too important to be left to multinationals who put profit before people and don’t care about driving customers into poverty and despair.

Richard Bunting, Dover

Governments have failed to correct this. We must.

Shirley Tunley, Aberystwyth

Only public ownership will deliver a service for the people, not profits for shareholders.

I could not agree with anything more.

Mike Wilce, Southampton

At last. Well done you people and may your good work continue.

Roy Colgate, Hove

You know it makes sense.

Let’s pull the plug on the fat cats.

Roger Allen, London

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

Eddie Griffin, Borehamwood

Energy companies should be brought to task.

It’s time to stop the greed.

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

Linda Urquhart, Loughborough

Why should someone else control our energy supply?

Nigel Apperley, Bournemouth

Power back to the people in a not-for-profit company.

Philip Todd, Stokesley

Re-nationalise without delay. Privatisation has failed miserably.

Paul Beattie, Corby

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

Paul Ellerington, Bedford

I want to own what belongs to me, and what has been stolen from me.

Stella Haynes, Market Harborough

obviously privatisation has been a disaster. All the evidence is there. Thatcher was wrong. We need a proper left wing spokesman to highlight this.

Michael Lawson, Borehamwood
