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.

I’m tired of being overcharged and paying more for ever decreasing benefit. Nationalise now.

Monopoly may be a popular game but in real life it’s no fun for the customer. It’s just a cartel in disguise.

I am so fed up with how the corporates and bankers pull the strings of the government. There are simple and cheap pollution-free solutions to the energy problems.

I really wish you good luck in this campaign, because everything in the UK is being privatised.

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

It’s ours, give it back.

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

I challenge the powers that be to demonstrate so much as a single benefit to consumers from Thatcher’s privatisation of the energy utilities. Just one?

Our energy needs to be renewable and prices need to be fairer for all.

Life is too short.

Public utilities should never have been privatised. The Big Six are becoming more expensive because they are not exploiting renewables.

Re-nationalise all energy.

I am not a left-wing supporter but the decision to privatise energy (much of which is now owned by non-UK companies) (and water companies) was misconceived.

I totally agree with this petition. For years it has been increasingly difficult to heat and light my home and it isn’t getting any easier.

Services by the people for the people. Bring the energy and water companies back into public ownership.

We are being ripped off by these companies. Let’s disband them now and take back ownership.

Energy is clearly not safe in private hands.

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

Re–nationalise now.

Crooks every one of them.

People would be happier paying tax if the essential services were to be or stay nationalised.

It is worth trying, despite the hopelessness we all feel on these issues. See recent reports on how Iceland has resisted the power of banks and multinational corporations.

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.

It’s time to stop rich friends of the government ripping us off. Rail, water, gas, electricity and now the mail too.

It is immoral for individual and corporate fat cats to profit so obscenely from peoples’ need simply to stay warm. All energy companies should be renationalised now.

Can we trust politicians to run anything? Heaven help us.

It’s necessary.

The utilities were sold off far too cheaply.

Energy companies should be brought to task.
