Why do people not shift away from the Big Six? If everyone did they’d soon think again about their prices.

We need to get back to a uniform fair price with profits going into improvements, not shareholders’ pockets.

Please take note of this petition.

Heating and lighting are essential commodities in the UK. They should not be profit-based industries. They should be run by society for society.

We have sold off too many of our utilities that should be owned by the taxpayers. Water, Gas, Electricity are all owned by foreigners.

We’ve had enough of prices so high and having to have a house that is cold.

How can we boycott them?

Keep up the good work. We are on an electric key meter. Not many companies do it so it makes it hard to change.

Our natural resources should never have been privatised in the first place.

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

When people are having to decide between heating and eating what does that say about modern day Britain? The more shareholders get the more they want. Greedy people.

End this farce. Too long the Big Six have worked together to increase prices.

If we are all in this together then why aren’t the profits to shareholders falling?

Privatisation instead of state monopoly was meant to lead to competition and lower prices for consumers. This hasn’t happened and rich bosses make even more profit.

Give the money back that you have overcharged consumers.

Another privatisation for the benefit of the City and funders of the Conservative Party.

I support this act.

Public ownership is the only viable basis on which energy and public transport can be planned and developed in an integrated way, to combat climate change.

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.

Long overdue.

Give us our utilities back now.

Our privatised utilities are a joke. The very nature of this fragmented system has the effect of pushing up costs and the evidence of anti-competitive pricing is obvious.

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

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

Utilities should always be in the hands of the people that use them. For these companies it is like writing a blank cheque.

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

I agree with the sentiments on the power Bill of Rights. Power to cook and keep warm is a human right, not a means to destroy the environment and make massive profits.

Privatisation has proved not to be in the interests of the nation. Competition has not resulted in companies vying to please customers, but in a self-interested cartel.

Customer choice in the provision of essential utilities makes no sense. Nationalisation of these industries serves the people of the country well.

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