All utilities and public transport should be in state ownership.

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

Our natural resources should never have been privatised in the first place.

Crooks every one of them.

Let’s pull the plug on the fat cats.

The sooner the energy companies are re-nationalised the better it will be for the customers.

It should not have been sold off in the first place. It only lined the pockets of Tories’ friends and masters.

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

Energy companies should be brought to task.

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

All vital public services such as energy, water, transport, postal services, education and health have no place being run for profit by tax-dodging multinationals.

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.

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

All so called profits can be re-invested back into energy generation to meet people’s need rather than corporate greed.

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

Where consumer essentials are concerned, profit adds to the cost. Re-nationalisation of power is necessary.

This government is selling UK down the river good and proper. I have to work two days to pay for one week’s energy and I’m not wallowing in centrally heated bliss.

Energy is clearly not safe in private hands.

Energy for public good not private profit.

It should never have been sold off in the first place. It’s a basic need which should be provided for the people by the people.

Private profit should never have been put before public service.

Keep power prices down and cut down on dividends to shareholders.

Privatisation of power is a broken concept. Re-nationalisation would literally bring power back to the people.

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.

Heating and lighting are essential commodities in the UK. They should not be profit-based industries. They should be run by society for society.

Energy is infrastructure, and this is the bedrock of national security.

Too much attention to profits when we should be concentrating on improving life chances.

Water and power services should be run by national authorities. Extra money needed for investment could be borrowed at fixed rates. This petition really needs to go big.

Re-nationalise now.

Good idea. As it would cost, why not set up a publicly owned company, cut the other’s prices and they will soon cease trading?
