The recent price increases by the major energy companies prey on the most vulnerable members of society solely to boost already record high profits.

Everything has been said. I, like many others, am tired of corporate business profits being placed before the genuine need of the British people.

All makes sense to me. Do it now.

Utilities are too important to the public to be run at their expense for private profit.

Clearly nothing fundamental to life should be owned for profit.

Energy generation should not be subject to the profit motive.

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

Re-nationalisation of all utilities.

Current events. Enough said.

One of the best things for UK people and UK finance would be the re-nationalisation of power and railways.

Power for the people.

We need services which operate for the benefit of the public, and the ability to re-invest money without losing it to shareholders.

Let’s get the utilities out of the hands of these greedy bastards. They should belong to the community at large.

Another example of capitalism running amok with no restraints.

Re-nationalise. Control of the supply of power should be on a non-profit basis. These services should be run for citizens not for profit.

I want all utilities re-nationalised.

I want public utilities in state hands, not those of corporations.

We, the people, should benefit from the basic right of fuel supply at a cheap price, not line the pockets of the already rich while others freeze to death.

All have the right to have access to essentials for life, which includes an energy supply, regardless of ability to pay.

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

The power companies were stolen from the people. Repossess them immediately.

Power to the people now.

Keep railways in public ownership – not producing profits to line a few pockets!

I never thought I would be living in fuel poverty.

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.

Power to the little men and women.

This has been waiting to be done, so many thanks for starting this petition. Energy and water have to be in the hands of the people, not profit-making companies.

Price rises due to increased commodity costs are rapidly passed on in full by the Big Six to consumers. Cost reductions are not. They are exploiting the consumer.

When a company is nationalised, any profits can come back to the people.

Well done to our various governments of the last 30 years for screwing us all over and leaving themselves looked after. For shame, give us all a chance to live.
