We need water, gas, electric and the banks – back in public ownership and get this country back on track!

Jamie Bramwell, Cheshire

The attempt to create an artificial market in energy supply has demonstrably failed. It is broke so let’s fix it.

Rik Alewijnse, Feering

Re-nationalisation of all utilities.

Dennis Wood, Clacton-on-Sea

They should never have been sold off in the first place.

David Callahan, London

Where is the competition? Even Cameron called it a cartel.

Mike Attewell, Durham

It’s about time these big companies are called to account for pricing people out of their basic day-to-day needs.

Stephen Chambers, Strood

Get back to sanity.

Norman Wall, Wallsend

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.

H Moon, Brighton

Privatization of energy resources and transport is a disgrace.

Lia Martinucci, Richmond, North Yorkshire

Power back to the people in a not-for-profit company.

Philip Todd, Stokesley

This is very important – do not ignore the voices of your people.

Simon Roberts, London

Please take note of this petition.

Mary Hodges, Newport, Isle of Wight

You’ve had your time fat cats.

William Hunt, Southport

More power to your elbow. Something needs to be done to stop this profiteering on something that people rely on.

John Robinson, Lincoln

Government and corporations need to realise that they do not have the power. We, the people, do. It is the duty of us, the people, aware of this, to spread the message.

Jack Carmenta, Leamington Spa

Basic living, water and power, should not be owned by private companies for profit.

Bob Woodhead, Leeds

Fuel should be a nationalised industry, to ensure that there are certain controls in place so that everyone can stay warm.

Tracey Purnell, Edinburgh

Let’s get the utilities out of the hands of these greedy bastards. They should belong to the community at large.

Andy Wilkinson, Norwich

All the main utilities should be under public ownership. Rich individuals should not be able to profit from them.

Joyce McCarthy, Bradford

Daylight robbery. Corporate assisted manslaughter.

Jeffrey Wong, Manchester

Re-nationalise all power and water companies now.

Len White, Coventry

Trusting energy companies to run their businesses for the benefit of customers is naive. Privatisation means profits first and last.

Michael Burnett, London

I just want a reliable, fair, publicly-owned utility, not a never-ending cycle of chasing different suppliers to get good value.

Martyn Wilson, Farnborough

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

David Line, Luton

these are necessities not luxuries, so the price needs to be reasonable

Asiya Ali, Slough

Yes, nationalisation would be great. The prices are crazy at the moment.

Becky Sherwood, Totnes

This issue is far too important to be left to multinationals who put profit before people and don’t care about driving customers into poverty and despair.

Richard Bunting, Dover

It seems that the only way for us ordinary people to be heard is to join together. Here’s hoping for success.

Christine Hill, London

Power for the people.

Colin Keatley, Plymouth

Profiteering based on the sale of a commodity which is essential to life and basic human comfort is outrageous. Nationalisation would end this.

Neil Cameron, Sheffield
