However, that's not really the aim of the Düsseldorf carnival, which has for years been making politically jolting parades, featuring floats that are a bit, well, out there.

The carnival is a five day frenzy held every February and began in the 19th century when locals sought to subvert the reigning Prussians.

Nowadays, it acts more as a political commentary on wheels.

So you see things like this satire of Donald Trump:

Or this float of German Social Democratic politician Martin Schulz breathing in poll ratings:

Seems like the UK could do with a version of this. On bonfire night in 2015, people in Lewes burned an effigy of a naked David Cameron and a pig. They burn a hate figure every year, with previous effigies including Sepp Blatter and Vladimir Putin.

Parades might be a bit less fiery.
