Time to get rid of the energy racketeers.

The power companies’ directors and shareholders are just vultures feasting on the misery of people with no choice.

It is about time it was re-nationalised.

You can see the Big Six are cheating. There never was such an obvious cartel.

Nothing good ever came from privatisation.

It’s time to return to sanity. No utility should be for private profit.

Profiteering on this scale should be illegal. It’s the unacceptable face of capitalism and must be stopped.

All public services and necessities of life should belong to the people not profit-hungry corporations intent on putting profit before people.

We are being ripped off, have been for ages and we need to put it right once and for all.

Electricity and gas are now a vital part of our everyday lives. It is morally wrong to profit from something the people are so dependant on.

It was, will be and is the property of those who are the property of this land. Let’s manage it so users, planet and the power industry workers get what they need.

Power to the people to eradicate poverty caused by big power companies and big businesses making huge profits of millions of pounds by selling energy at high prices.

How can something so vital for human life be used to make a few richer?

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

About damn time. Let’s hope many more signatures follow.

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.

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.

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

Big business has had too much power for too long. Its time to return it back to the people.

It’s just common sense to run basic essentials in the public sphere and for the public good.

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

Above inflation price rises year on year is simply not sustainable. This is sheer profiteering. The companies can see that their days are numbered.

Stop the rip-off.

Market forces have left this country with the prospect of being unable to meet our energy requirements in the next few years.

All in it together, again.

I’ve worked all my life, contributing to our state systems, to find that now, aged 73 and living alone, I sit wrapped in a blanket, trying to keep warm. What life is this?

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.

Because energy is too important to be left to the spivs.

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

Utilities are basic necessities and should be run for the benefit of the public, not shareholders.
