Not sure what the question is. But here you go:
"You are of course right, people too often exaggerate terms like hard right. However, if you re-read your post you are guilty of the same by referring to "the real hard left". It would be better if we all toned down the hyperbole and listened to each others point of view."
I'm not that up on JRM's "policies". All I've ever heard is; 1) brexit, 2) trad. conservative economic policy, 3) trad. family values / Roman Catholic world view. None of that marks him out as a fascist, just a right wing (c)onservative politician with an ultra-traditional world view. Has he recently talked about rounding up refugees or something?
Anyway what "hard left" policies does this guy think have caused damage that need to be reversed? That traditional socialist policy of an open immigration policy to reduce labour costs for business? Or PFI contracts?
Other than the various limitations on civil liberties brought in by the Blair era, it's hard to think of anything you could characterise as hard left... and I'm pretty sure the DM and co were pretty supportive of those.
Given that he sounds semi-illiterate and that it's been almost 40yrs since there has been anything approaching a left-wing government, I'd be inclined not to bother.

Here's the post I'd like some help to answer:
"people throw out these terms far right and hard right all the time, yet when i hear the policies of these so called far right people, they seem to be espousing policies that are just reversing the damage caused by the real hard left,
i think its a stitch up job, far right is something that is off the scale,
i suppose its like the way these faceless stirrers re-defined the term 'racist' to catch plenty more in their net,
i doubt many people have ever met a true racist or fascist.
jrm is a regular, decent right wing man and politician. The rest is just silly hysterics."
