We are being ripped off, have been for ages and we need to put it right once and for all.

Water and power services should be run by national authorities. Extra money needed for investment could be borrowed at fixed rates. This petition really needs to go big.

They should belong to the people.

Where is the competition? Even Cameron called it a cartel.

Another public asset stolen from the people.

All vital public services such as energy, water, transport, postal services, education and health have no place being run for profit by tax-dodging multinationals.

Privatisation equals prices up, service down, profits to investment bankers.

Re-nationalise without delay. Privatisation has failed miserably.

Energy should never have been privatised. We want it back.

Light and heat are basic human needs and profits should not be made from their provision.

Return to public ownership for the people’s benefit.

Right on.

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

Let the voices of the people be heard.

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

Public utilities should never be in private hands. Simple.

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.

I can’t see how paying dividends can do anything other than take money away from customer service or lower prices.

In the interest of the people re-nationalise now.

There are those that can and those that cannot heat their homes. I’m for supporting and speaking up for those that can’t.

It should not have been sold off in the first place. It only lined the pockets of Tories’ friends and masters.

Utilities should not be for profit but for the people.

I totally agree with your aims.

Public utilities should be in public hands. It’s as simple as that.

Energy supplies and infrastructure are produced by the people. They should be owned by the people.

Rip-off Britain.

Private profit should never have been put before public service.

All public services and necessities of life should belong to the people not profit-hungry corporations intent on putting profit before people.

The sooner this happens the better.

An efficiently run and publicly accountable energy provider must be better than a pure profit model.
