A 'MASS rally' against austerity was held in Haverfordwest today (Saturday, March 2).
The People's Assembly Against Austerity's national tour, themed; 'Britain is Broken - We Can't Afford The Tories' visited Haverfordwest for the west Wales leg of its tour.
Leanne Wood, the former Plaid Cymru leader, lead the keynote speeches.
Jim Scott of Pembrokeshire People's Assembly, one of the main organisers of the rally, ahead of the rally said: "Tory austerity has failed, it has always been an ideological policy has always been economically flawed.
"After nearly a decade of savage cuts to the very fabric of our society, working class people are suffering under the weight of austerity while the wealth of a privileged few has tripled. This has been a shameless transference of wealth from the public purse into the pockets of the super-rich, it's as simple as that. The Tories are picking the bones of our society and it is time for them to go."
