Germany's Rose Monday parade




RUDE PARADE

Germany’s Rose Monday parade kicks off featuring bizarre floats of Theresa May giving birth to deformed Brexit baby and Donald Trump being assaulted by Russian bear

Leaders fall victim to biting satire which has become a hilarious German carnival tradition with people also singing songs that send up the rich and powerful.


A GIANT model of Donald Trump being assaulted by a enormous Russian bear has been paraded through a German city.

But the US President was not the only the leader to be lampooned at the world’s most cheeky carnival.



 The mind boggles... quite what the thin-skinned Donald Trump will think of this?

The Rose Monday carnival, which takes place every year across southern and western Germany, feature satirical floats that mock the political power brokers of the day. But the floats in Düsseldorf are considered particularly provocative compared to those in other German cities.
Here Britain’s leader did not escape a satirical savaging  with a float that pulled no punches on her political career.
An ecstatic looking Theresa May was portrayed giving birth to what appears to be a hideously deformed Brexit baby.

Meanwhile German leader Angela Merkel is not spared. The politician, who is struggling to form a coalition after a poor election result, is depicted as a Black Widow with the caption “Next Please”.
Bones of her political rivals surround her.



 Creepy... Angela Merkel is made into a sinister spider feasting on her opponents
