That’s it. We’ve had enough. You can push the people so far. Now we are taking our power back.

I would hate to be old in this country, and have to choose between food or heating.

I have been saying we should re-nationalise the industry for years.

Energy companies are too greedy. Our sick, elderly and working-class can’t afford to heat their homes. Re-nationalise as soon as possible and keep us out of debt.

Why has it taken so long to get started? The Tories are always fast enough pushing their privatisation schemes through parliament without asking for anyone’s opinions.

Bring back the CEGB. They would have solved the reduction of CO2 problem, got nuclear generation, got safe generation margins etc.

What’s the point of disrupting a well run system for the sake of political ideology? Save the money for the councils that are having to make budget cuts.

I am fed up with being ripped off by these companies.

You know it is fair.

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

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.

Capitalism or a planet – it’s one or the other.

The companies were sold off cheaply and no investment has been made by them since privatisation. They now want to make the consumers pay for under-investment.

Our heating is our biggest cost nowadays.

Re-nationalise all the stuff that once belonged to us now.

I’m fed up with what should be national institutions being used as cash cows for a few rich fat cats.

Not a moment before time. I have just moved gas supply to join electricity at Good Energy, 100% renewable provider. Not another penny to British Gas for me.

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

Please take note of this petition.

Current events. Enough said.

Give us our money back you thieving gits watching us suffer.

It’s plain common sense.

Nothing good ever came from privatisation.

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

Making profit from essential public services shouldn’t be allowed.

Give back something I used to own, which was sold without my permission.

Start with the railways, then re-nationalise gas, water and electricity. Hands off the Royal Mail too!

It’s time to return to sanity. No utility should be for private profit.

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

Our utilities should not be in private hands.
