Privatised energy is not serving the consumer; only the energy companies and their shareholders. Nationalise energy now.

Rip-off utilities companies need sorting out. People before profit.

I campaigned against electricity privatisation when I worked in the industry and served on the NEC of the Electrical Power Engineers’ Association. I am vindicated.

Privatisation has seen us ripped off left and right, not least by the energy companies. This needs to be rectified.

Sustainable, affordable and communal energy.

Power for the people.

We may as well bring it back into public ownership as taxpayers are paying for it anyway.

The attempt to create an artificial market in energy supply has demonstrably failed. It is broke so let’s fix it.

Re-nationalise.

I am tired of the energy companies making profits from the poorest in society.

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

Stop the Great British rip-off. Bring back utilities and transport into our ownership.

There are some services and utilities that are too important to be in private hands, energy, health, education amongst them.

Everyone needs to stand together and join us in rolling back the control of market forces.

Public utilities for the public. Not massive profits for foreign companies while we freeze.

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

This has ripped off the ordinary people long enough.

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.

I just agree with everything you’ve said.

All utilities should belong to the people, not profit-making private companies.

Dear British Gas, stop ripping me off.

You’ve had your time fat cats.

Enough is enough of foreign companies owning our utilities and holding people to ransom.

Something as essential as power generation should not be in the hands of people whose only interest is in short term shareholder gain.

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

The increases over the last few years show that this government is only interested in big business as usual. Disgraceful.

I hate being held to ransom.

It is time we all said enough is enough. Thank you for organising this petition.

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