The Big Six are corporate thieves.

Geoff Lange, Gosport

End the corruption of the energy cartel.

David Berriman, St Leonards on Sea

Enough is enough.

Rick Long

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

Philip Cumberland, Peterborough

Power to the many in the hands of the many.

Bernie Lally, Northampton

All utilities should be publicly owned and run for the benefit of the public not shareholders, with profits ploughed back in for everyone’s benefit.

Anne Callaghan, Blantyre

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

Dennis Pearce, Hampton

Energy is an essential part of life. We shouldn’t be held to ransom by those who are only out for profit. Nationalise and reinvest the profits and/or reduce bills.

David Winter, Hornchurch

Put this resource back in the hands of the British taxpayer instead of foreign shareholders who do not care about people.

Joyce Watchorn, Chester-le-Street

I would like to put my name to this petition and I actively support the campaign to bring back our energy network into public ownership.

Oliver Steward, Norwich

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.

Ken Keable, Stoke-sub-Hamdon

Re-nationalise the energy and power industries and make government answerable to the people.

Robert Rudge, Glaston, Rutland

I’m sick to death of stupid and corrupt politicians making rubbish decisions. We must have independence.

John Lynch, Pudsey.

Give us our utilities back now.

Col Farrell, Liverpool

Put profits back into services, not into shareholder pockets.

Andrea Stow, Cleckheaton

Above inflation price rises year on year is simply not sustainable. This is sheer profiteering. The companies can see that their days are numbered.

Matthew Allen, Portsmouth

We have sold off too many of our utilities that should be owned by the taxpayers. Water, Gas, Electricity are all owned by foreigners.

Barbara Cowle, Wirral

I never thought I would be living in fuel poverty.

Jenny Dimond, Ware

Energy should not be in the hands of foreign companies. We the people should own it. France and Germany would never privatise strategic industries.

Marjorie Arnold, Wigan

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

Dennis Exley, Barnsley

It can never be right or in the best interests of the many to have power in private hands. If the state runs it correctly it could use the profits for better services.

Noel Symonds, Redhill

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

Rose Kay, Berwick-on-Tweed

All essential services should be community assets, managed to benefit the people and not financially punish them.

Graham Towler, Northampton

Prices increase every year and service standards drop. We need to reverse this trend for a fairer Britain.

Margaret Blackman, St Albans

Water and energy should be non-profit-making.

Maggie Jenkins, Fareham

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.

Karl Johnson, Walsall

People before profit.

Angela Dillon, Glenrothes

We need water, gas, electric and the banks – back in public ownership and get this country back on track!

Jamie Bramwell, Cheshire

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

Peter Sharpe, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
