The privatisation of utilities and other national assets has been 30 years of failure and corruption. It should be stopped.

There are too many companies offering lots of deals. The consumer can’t work out what is best for them. Often changing suppliers makes it worse. We need clarification.

Public ownership is the only viable basis on which energy and public transport can be planned and developed in an integrated way, to combat climate change.

People not profits.

They should belong to the people.

I’m 100% behind you on this. It’s time to favour people rather than profits. We need to re-nationalise all utilities and public transport.

Re-nationalise and rationalise the energy sector. As long as companies can make a profit exploiting natural resources they will continue to do so.

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

The promise that privatisation would bring lower prices and a better service is as false with rail as with water, energy and soon the post.

Privatisation drives up prices and drives down quality.

Please take note of this petition.

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.

I am not against privatisation but am sick of people making so much profit from the public.

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

Free market capitalism is not the best way for everything and is certainly not the optimal philosophy for providing essential services to a country’s population.

All profit to be re-invested in the service.

I campaigned against electricity privatisation when I worked in the industry and served on the NEC of the Electrical Power Engineers’ Association. I am vindicated.

Get back to sanity.

Common sense over greed, please.

Let’s get back to how it was – a more fair society.

Putting food on the table is hard enough without worrying about the cost of cooking it.

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.

Taking out the running costs of so many companies could reduce prices instantly.

All utilities should belong to the people, not profit-making private companies.

Utilities are too important to the public to be run at their expense for private profit.

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.

I support the dream but has anyone any idea of the cost of re-nationalising?

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.

Everybody needs it, it’s essential and should not be run by firms from outside the UK who are only interested in making money.

The sooner this happens the better.
