Actually, they're interested in a lot more than farmers and shopkeepers.
They are also after sections of the white working class.

Red Action (who produce 'Red Action' mag) and Anti-Fascist Action (who
produce 'Fighting Talk' mag) have drawn attention to this for the past
several years.

RA has noted how Labour has increasingly alienated sections of white
workers, whom it has nothing to offer except greater social control over
their lives, the left largely ignores white workers, and this has opened up
a space for the fascists.

I don't have their website addresses immediately to hand, but they are
worth checking out.
