Something as essential as power generation should not be in the hands of people whose only interest is in short term shareholder gain.

Energy supply and distribution requires long term and nationwide co-ordination. Privatisation gives no reason to look to the future when a quick buck can be made now.

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

Utility companies are cash cows for foreign equity funds. Frankly, it’s mad.

Everyone needs to stand together and join us in rolling back the control of market forces.

I prefer the country’s energy supply in the hands of politicians and not capitalists, but the margin is very slight.

That’s it. We’ve had enough. You can push the people so far. Now we are taking our power back.

More money for the rich and the poor suffer.

I’m sick of being exploited by money-grabbing companies. I hope their days are numbered.

It’s time for action. People need heat and light to survive.

Returning power ownership and production to the British people is the only way to guarantee cost and infrastructure control. Give power back to the people.

People dying due to profiteering and government indifference is nothing short of corporate manslaughter.

It’s crazy. We have the skills and the unemployed so we should use them.

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

No argument. Power is an essential, not a profit-making commodity.

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

All profit to be re-invested in the service.

We need affordable, sustainable, clean energy, for the common good, not private profit.

Basic utilities that underpin the infrastructure of a nation should never be in the hands of private, often foreign, businesses.

Something must be done. They are all raking in extreme profits from us poorer people.

Enough is enough with no pay rises and the energy companies just milking us. It’s time that fuel came back into public ownership.

Power for the people and to the people – people power. as John Lennon put it – Love and Peace.

Let’s take utilities back. They’re not for making a few people wealthy.

I am not a left-wing supporter but the decision to privatise energy (much of which is now owned by non-UK companies) (and water companies) was misconceived.

I agree with the sentiments on the power Bill of Rights. Power to cook and keep warm is a human right, not a means to destroy the environment and make massive profits.

Give us back our power.

Bring back British Rail and the water, gas and electricity.

The current political concern about energy provision consistently ignores the obvious – that the problems are the consequence of privatisation.

Bring the power back to the people.

Our utilities should be in public ownership. They can be run well on a not-for-profit basis. We are being exploited by ideologically driven policies.
