About bloody time.

Jim Robson, Corby

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

Roger Jackson, York

Public services for people not profit.

Laurie Walmsley,

Energy generation should not be subject to the profit motive.

Kate Martinson, Southampton

All makes sense to me. Do it now.

Matt Haskins, London

Profits from utility, bus and rail companies should be ploughed back into infrastructure, not shareholders” pockets.

Jeremy Hoyte, Oswestry

It’s about time we stopped foreign countries buying into us and ripping out our roots.

Elaine Whybrow, Dartford

Before the sell-off there were 60million shareholders, each with one equal share and equal rights. Now the many pay the few, with no say, rights or choice. Our time has come.

Jon Crinks, Liskeard

Tory MPs are only concerned with making the rich richer at the expense of the poor. Equality? No.

Brian Stephens, Sunderland

Energy profits should be invested in energy re-vitalisation, not to line the pockets of company bosses and shareholders.

Stephen Swanton, Leeds

I agree fully with your comments.

Abigail Wheeler, Cheltenham

Fuel to keep warm, heat water and cook food should be affordable for all. Re-nationalise the energy firms. People before profits.

Sheila Wiggins, Bournemouth

It should never have happened in the first place. It just cost us all a lot of money. And for what?

Brian Cann, Yeovil

Give the money back that you have overcharged consumers.

Steve Gordon, Bedford

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.

George Davies, Darwen

I too support the re-nationalisation of energy supply in the UK.

Claire Goodes, Ashford

All utilities should be in the hands of the public.

William Morton, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Profiteering based on the sale of a commodity which is essential to life and basic human comfort is outrageous. Nationalisation would end this.

Neil Cameron, Sheffield

At the very least do away with a daily standing charge.

Janet Brooke, Nottingham

Let’s get back to pre-Thatcher era when we the people owned and reaped the benefits of public ownership. It’s only right.

Patricia Bull, Lewes

Daylight robbery. Corporate assisted manslaughter.

Jeffrey Wong, Manchester

All have the right to have access to essentials for life, which includes an energy supply, regardless of ability to pay.

John Tyrrell, Birmingham

Privatisation drives up prices and drives down quality.

Jennie Cummings-Knight, Cromer

Profits before people must stop.

Daniel Holt, Bournemouth

Please return the gas and electricity industry to the same great institution which it used to be.

Stephen Munton, Birmingham

With this bunch of bully-boys in power, the campaign for re-nationalisation based on cold hard numbers, highlighting how we’ve lost out is needed more than ever.

Peter Burns, Newport

I just agree with everything you’ve said.

Richard Paunes, Ilfracombe

It’s time to end the experiment! Energy supply is too important to be left in the hands of the private sector!

Peter Whitehead, Gilberdyke, East Yorkshire

Monopoly may be a popular game but in real life it’s no fun for the customer. It’s just a cartel in disguise.

Caroline Abbott, Middlesbrough

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.

Kay Green, Hastings
