Komissariat-5 Comrade Reeves: “Pensioners Will Be Required to Die Earlier”

Comrade Reeves of the Komissiarat-5 Stasi Unit has revealed her plans for Britain’s pensioners at a recent impromptu committee meeting to Labour Politburo members.

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin: “The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.”

“Comrades, fellow Marxists, eugenicists, and esteemed Labour Stasi Politburo colleagues. We need money urgently. I have outlined a comprehensive plan of theft from old people, from pensioners. These people who installed us into power and supported our party must be robbed of all their riches and wealth immediately.

“Furthermore, these pensioners are taking too long to die. This is not good for the Big State because it takes too long to rob these vile old people of their wealth with inheritance tax when they eventually die.

“I have ordered the removal of their winter fuel payments so more of them freeze to death in the winter, but this is not enough.

“If these pensioners do not die by a certain age, we may have to bring forth measures to put them in Gulags and work them to death. We are currently building such facilities in the regions of Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Manchester and Liverpool, with additional facilities planned in Scotland.

“If these measures do not suffice, we have also arranged for special pensioner hunting squads to go house to house, care home to care home and to eliminate these cash cows with bullets. Special squads are being trained right now to go forth and do the state’s much needed work by shooting the pensioners in the back of their heads. We must raise money immediately, especially for the Net Zero Purge, and salary increases for key Big State workers.

“The state will take care of this situation with the utmost clinical precision. Rest be assured, after we kill off the burdensome pensioners and rob them of everything they own, we will move on to the middle-aged and then on to the young.”
