It’s time to acknowledge that some industries should be run for the benefit of people, not profit.

Full nationalisation of all the utilities is the only way to end the rip-off.

I have worked all my life and receive no benefits. At 64, I am sitting at home wearing three sweaters as I type this. Fuel supplies should never have been privatised.

Power to the people to eradicate poverty caused by big power companies and big businesses making huge profits of millions of pounds by selling energy at high prices.

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

All the fuel companies are rogues.

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

It is about time the ownership of the electricity and gas industries was passed to the people of the country.

Power production should be for us all and not for private profit.

This is a long overdue idea.

I love this campaign. It’s time to smash the myth that privatisation is good for consumers.

People who have a physical disability or learning disability and the elderly are most at risk with all the high charges.

The bullies at the Big Six must be stood up to.

Before the sell-off there were 60million shareholders, each with one equal share and equal rights. Now the many pay the few, with no say, rights or choice. Our time has come.

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

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.

It’s time that the people had control of these companies and paid fair prices, instead of being ripped off for huge profits and making poorer people suffer.

I used to work in the power generation industry when it was privatised by the Tory government and we said then it would not work. How right we were.

I support the dream but has anyone any idea of the cost of re-nationalising?

Fairness for all please, not just the rich.

Re-nationalisation is the only rational path to follow. Our power is going to capitalists abroad.

Renationalise the energy utilities please.

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

The promise that privatisation would bring lower prices and a better service is as false with rail as with water, energy and soon the post.

Big business has had too much power for too long. Its time to return it back to the people.

Run utilities for the people and the environment

Energy is infrastructure, and this is the bedrock of national security.

The current political concern about energy provision consistently ignores the obvious – that the problems are the consequence of privatisation.

We need cheaper fuel.

Thatcher’s legacy needs to be addressed.
