In Germany, the annual
RosenTag (Rose Day) Parades are a total hoot.
Also known as Karneval or Fastnacht, it's always just before the beginning of Lent. Germans mark the occasion in some regions by holding street parades, parties and making fun of German stereotypes, politicians and other public figures, using superb carnival floats.

| They really don't like Donald Trump |
 |
| They summarise the RussiaGate Affair quite nicely |
 |
| And talking of that Mr Putin .. (Wirtschaft is 'Economy') |
 |
| Catholic Church hiding of Paedophilia came under attack |
 |
| And a bit of playful mockery for our Queen |
 |
| Although this mockery of Theresa May and Brexit is spot on |
 |
| And on domestic affairs, they hint at the rhetoric of Far Right AfD Politician Björn Höcke |
 |
| And a comment on Sylvio Berlusconi's possible return to EU Politics |
