Enough is enough. We are sick of being ripped off and private companies profiteering while people freeze to death every winter.

Ken Walker, Milnrow

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

Pete & Nikki Perry, Stevenage

Re-nationalise all power and water companies now.

Len White, Coventry

The reason we are annually held to ransom is to feed the grotesque profits of organisations that were taken away from us. They were ours, give them back.

Sara Smith-Petersen, Kettering

Even the Victorians had the sense to understand that utilities so vital should not be private.

Hilary Lowson, Bathgate

All infrastructure should be in public control – power and water, transport and telecommunications.

Neville Akroyd, Launceston

It’s about time. I’m sick of getting robbed every winter.

Stephen Cooper, Peterborough

Charges are grossly disproportionate to costs. Stop these companies from becoming so powerful that it would become impossible to challenge them.

Marti French, Newton Abbot

All makes sense to me. Do it now.

Matt Haskins, London

End this disastrous privatisation.

John Howe, Rotherham

Renationalise the energy utilities please.

Gaby Weiner, Lewes East Sussex

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

Simon Archer, York

Whatever excuses they come up with, its a cartel and that’s illegal.

Susan Shaw, Barnsley

Profit from privatisation is given to shareholders whereas profits from nationalisation is re-invested to improve the system. Government has ultimate control, not fat cats.

Karl Snowdon, Gateshead

I hate being held to ransom.

Diane Hibbert, Rainworth

21st-century government has a duty to provide all its citizens with heat and light at a fair price. Ability to pay should make no difference to this basic human right.

Hugh Terry, Reading

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

Anthony Peter, Todmorden

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

Mark Lansbury, Newchurch

Give us back our freedom that our parents fought for and stop ripping us off.

Susan Aldrich, Filey

Energy supplies and infrastructure are produced by the people. They should be owned by the people.

Paul Mclean, Leeds

This petition should highlight the need for more social responsibility to be shown by this selfish and one-eyed government.

Roger Jackson, York

Fuel should be at cost and not be for profit.

Claire Scott, Bideford

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

Brian Smith, Stockton Brook

Enough of these cartels. They do nothing for our country.

Margaret Graham, Edinburgh

I’m fed up with profits going to companies. They should go back into our hands.

Andy Walker, Brighton

Let the voices of the people be heard.

Julian Bell, West Molesey

Why should someone else control our energy supply?

Nigel Apperley, Bournemouth

We need a power company that the country owns not companies run by profiteers.

Mark Marriott, Nottingham

We are the majority, ordinary working people reduced to living hand to mouth. This is the reality.

Andrew Rogers, Grimsby

In the interest of the people re-nationalise now.

Kevin Ritter, Ebbw Vale.
