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

Re-nationalisation of all utilities.

Enough of these cartels. They do nothing for our country.

I want to own what belongs to me, and what has been stolen from me.

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

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.

People would be happier paying tax if the essential services were to be or stay nationalised.

All in it together, again.

Free market capitalism is not the best way for everything and is certainly not the optimal philosophy for providing essential services to a country’s population.

Power for the people.

Nationalisation without compensation. Give us back our utilities now.

This petition should highlight the need for more social responsibility to be shown by this selfish and one-eyed government.

Thatcher’s legacy needs to be addressed.

Power to the people now.

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.

All makes sense to me. Do it now.

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

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

All energy companies should be re-nationalised and green energy supported.

I could not agree with anything more.

Put energy suppliers back into public ownership.

Essential services should be publicly owned and not a business driven by profit.

Power for the people.

Another example of capitalism running amok with no restraints.

Well done to our various governments of the last 30 years for screwing us all over and leaving themselves looked after. For shame, give us all a chance to live.

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.

Power to the little men and women.

There are too many companies offering lots of deals. The consumer can’t work out what is best for them. Often changing suppliers makes it worse. We need clarification.

Why do we need the money-grabbing middle men? Give us back our energy industry and plough the profits back into the infrastructure, not into the pockets of shareholders.

I’m 100% behind you on this. It’s time to favour people rather than profits. We need to re-nationalise all utilities and public transport.
