It was, will be and is the property of those who are the property of this land. Let’s manage it so users, planet and the power industry workers get what they need.

I despair when we have sold off our national assets, from rail to energy to water to money.

Heating and hot water should not be for commercial gain.

We need a power company that the country owns not companies run by profiteers.

It is about time it was re-nationalised.

Once again, another classic example of how privatisation doesn’t work. The government will see this country on its knees just so they don’t have to lose face.

How can we boycott them?

Profiteering on this scale should be illegal. It’s the unacceptable face of capitalism and must be stopped.

Big Six energy companies are a definite cartel. Let’s have a proper investigation into them. Ever since the utility companies were put in private hands prices have risen.

Heating and lighting are essential commodities in the UK. They should not be profit-based industries. They should be run by society for society.

We need to get back to a point where basics such as heat and light are affordable to all. People before profit.

Everyone needs energy and at a cost that protects and enhances life, rather than simply unearned dividend payments which are used to make rich people even richer.

No compensation for the shareholders who got the shares at a bargain price.

Privatisation of public industries is a proven failure.

Enough is enough with no pay rises and the energy companies just milking us. It’s time that fuel came back into public ownership.

Renationalise the energy utilities please.

No argument. Power is an essential, not a profit-making commodity.

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.

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

I was forced to debilitating depression and suicide by N-power’s false billing. My MP wrote to Voker Beckers and we have no reply a year on.

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

Privatisation has just become a way for fat cats to monopolise and form cartel-like structures of our energy, trains etc. Re-nationalise.

Crooks every one of them.

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

Energy for public good not private profit.

Basic needs should not be in the hands of big business.

It’s time to return to sanity. No utility should be for private profit.

Utility companies are cash cows for foreign equity funds. Frankly, it’s mad.

They should belong to the people.

Certain commodities should be owned by the people, for the people. Energy, public transport, water.
