I despair when we have sold off our national assets, from rail to energy to water to money.

All the fuel companies are rogues.

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

I’ve made the first step by ditching the big companies. I’ve moved my account to Co-operative energy, the first step to bring excessive profits back to members.

stop private companies profiting at the people’s expense when so many are in ‘fuel poverty’

All public services and necessities of life should belong to the people not profit-hungry corporations intent on putting profit before people.

Energy is too important to be a wealth provider for shareholders of private companies.

Re-nationalise.

We don’t want more choice. We just want better service, of benefit to both individuals and companies, serving the economy as a whole, not just shareholders.

Utilities should not be for profit but for the people.

For profit’ is always likely to place profit before social considerations.

All public utilities should be in public (not private) hands.

Privatisation equals prices up, service down, profits to investment bankers.

How can something so vital for human life be used to make a few richer?

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

No argument. Power is an essential, not a profit-making commodity.

We need to get back to a point where basics such as heat and light are affordable to all. People before profit.

Why do we need to be held to ransom by the power companies? Price increases mean more shareholder dividends. Return them to public ownership.

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.

I’m fed up with being milked to pay for energy bosses’ bonuses. After being caught price fixing too. It’s about time the profits were re-invested in the system.

Of all the public services this has the strongest link between modern day human needs and climate change. We cannot leave it to the greedy pigs to manage.

Don’t expect any help from left wing politicians.

Energy for the public, not for profit! Besides, if it makes a profit, surely this would be better invested in the country than in shareholders pockets.

You know it makes sense.

Bring back British Rail and the water, gas and electricity.

How long before the market can stand no more?

All utilities and public transport should be in state ownership.

The millions in profits should be used to keep prices down, not line the pockets of directors and shareholders.

I’m just sick of being ripped off by these greedy power companies.

People should not have to choose heating over eating.
