People before profit.

Power is too important to be left to private business.

The ridiculous greed of all energy companies and their suppliers must stop. We must also find ways of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels without it costing the earth.

I’d rather subsidise my fellow citizens than a bunch of fat cats.

Get it back in our hands, with proper, democratically-consulted safeguards against bad management this time.

Privatisation has become a nightmare from which we would like to wake up.

Honesty and firmness please.

Why don’t they learn?

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

An efficiently run and publicly accountable energy provider must be better than a pure profit model.

We are being ripped off by these companies. Let’s disband them now and take back ownership.

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.

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

I support this act.

Energy for the public not profit.

Crooks every one of them.

It is obscene for anyone (including the government with VAT) and especially foreigners to make money from the sale of domestic fuel. Privatisation is essential.

When the Tory government privatised utilities, they did not plan it out. It is a failed experiment which has only succeeded in making the man in the street suffer.

And promote microgeneration and community owned renewables.

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

Right on.

It’s time to turn back the tide. Private is not always best. Let’s have more pride in civic institutions.

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

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

It should never have happened in the first place. It just cost us all a lot of money. And for what?

Give the people their utilities back. They’re too important for the privateers to own.

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.

Once again, another classic example of how privatisation doesn’t work. The government will see this country on its knees just so they don’t have to lose face.

Re-nationalise energy now.

All essential services should be nationalised. That’s rail, water, energy, post office, and schools under local authority control.
