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

Let us return to a fair sharing of wealth and freedom.

What’s the point of disrupting a well run system for the sake of political ideology? Save the money for the councils that are having to make budget cuts.

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

That’s it. We’ve had enough. You can push the people so far. Now we are taking our power back.

How can we boycott them?

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

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

Energy is now an essential for normal living, and thus shouldn’t be run for private profits.

Nationalisation without compensation. Give us back our utilities now.

It should never have been sold off in the first place.

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.

Re-nationalise now.

Fuel should be at cost and not be for profit.

A publicly owned energy provider will show up the lie that competition has been good for consumers, just as East Coast has on the railways.

I am so fed up with how the corporates and bankers pull the strings of the government. There are simple and cheap pollution-free solutions to the energy problems.

How can the Government have an ‘energy policy’ when the country is being held to ransom by privately-run, often not British, energy firms?

I never thought I would be living in fuel poverty.

Essential services should be nationalised services. If they want businesses to make money from private investors, they should issue bonds in the business.

Thatcher’s legacy needs to be addressed.

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.

Re-nationalise all energy.

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

Clearly nothing fundamental to life should be owned for profit.

I used to work in the power generation industry when it was privatised by the Tory government and we said then it would not work. How right we were.

The companies were sold off cheaply and no investment has been made by them since privatisation. They now want to make the consumers pay for under-investment.

Vote these Tory swine out of office as soon as possible.

I totally agree with your aims.

It’s just common sense to run basic essentials in the public sphere and for the public good.

Government approved robbery of the population for the benefit of the few.
