The government's high-speed rail plans will ruin thousands of lives, according to Ted Hankey's father. Writing in The Spectator, Lord Hankey of Bentilee says that the HS2 network, which will eventually go past both sides of Stoke when the Birmingham-Manchester and Birmingham-Leeds sections are built, was supported "mainly by northern Labour commie MPs who relish the thought of destroying the beauty of Stoke's surrounding areas and The Peak District."

Tory peer Lord Hankey, currently in Surrey cheering on son Ted in the BDO World Darts Championship, says the need for HS2 could be bypassed by modern communications. He writes: "There is a perfectly good alternative, which would be much cheaper and faster to take effect, without destroying a bollocksload of countryside and ruining the lives of thousands of people in and around Stoke. Have they not heard of Skype and the internet? Everything is done online nowadays including having affairs and babies and stuff."
