People would be happier paying tax if the essential services were to be or stay nationalised.

For profit’ is always likely to place profit before social considerations.

Light and heat are basic human needs and profits should not be made from their provision.

We only demand back what was once ours.

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

Keep railways in public ownership – not producing profits to line a few pockets!

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.

Power supplies are too important to leave privateers in control.

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.

I’ve made the first step by ditching the big companies. I’ve moved my account to Co-operative energy, the first step to bring excessive profits back to members.

It should be back under one ownership, like it used to be. British gas is now owned by the French.

This will inevitably happen. In the future there will be wars over energy and we will all no doubt suffer.

We’ve had enough of prices so high and having to have a house that is cold.

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

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.

I have worked all my life and receive no benefits. At 64, I am sitting at home wearing three sweaters as I type this. Fuel supplies should never have been privatised.

Profits before people must stop.

Take back the assets that formerly belonged to the British people. They were fraudulently sold by Mrs Thatcher to the benefit of her friends in the Conservative party.

Tell Sid he’s a thief.

Is it a service for the people to keep warm this winter or is it a business to make the profits bigger. If everyone stopped payment for one month they’d fail big time.

People not profits.

Let the voices of the people be heard.

Monopoly may be a popular game but in real life it’s no fun for the customer. It’s just a cartel in disguise.

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

Get back to sanity.

Our country should be run by the majority vote of the people not the MPs and fat cats. We are the ones who pay their wages.

End the corruption of the energy cartel.

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

At the moment energy companies can print money. The Government is powerless to stop them.

Power to the people now.
