I’d rather subsidise my fellow citizens than a bunch of fat cats.

The huge growth in profit taken by the Big Six over the last four years – from

Re-nationalise and invest profits instead of paying out to shareholders.

Nationalisation without compensation. Give us back our utilities now.

All energy should be state owned.

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.

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

Re-nationalise all power and water companies now.

Stop the rip-off.

The promise that privatisation would bring lower prices and a better service is as false with rail as with water, energy and soon the post.

It’s about time this issue was brought to the fore.

Re–nationalise now.

Excellent cause. Well done. When the government washes its hands of its responsibility to the people, the people must take action to protect themselves.

Nationalisation is for the benefit of the vast majority of the British people.

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.

Renationalise the energy utilities please.

Investment in power is woeful. The profits are intolerable.

Give the money back that you have overcharged consumers.

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

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.

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.

Power to the people to eradicate poverty caused by big power companies and big businesses making huge profits of millions of pounds by selling energy at high prices.

Nationalisation is essential for all public services which, because of their nature, do not have true competition. Energy nationalisation also provides forward planning.

Where consumer essentials are concerned, profit adds to the cost. Re-nationalisation of power is necessary.

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.

Give us back our freedom that our parents fought for and stop ripping us off.

I support the campaign for a nationally owned energy service.

Bring back British Rail and the water, gas and electricity.

I’m just sick of being ripped off by these greedy power companies.

Give the power back to the people.
