The summary/descripton of the podcast:

I just don't get this groups of 2 side, it bans a parent and child from going for a walk, forget about a family going for a walk together.

Well that might displease islamists, don't want them to think that there will be more white people.

Oh, well of course it's not going to be used to harass innocent couples going about their daily lives. /s

In practice I suspect it won't ever be applied to that, it's probably intended to be used to round up gangs of kids keying cars and smashing windows. But I don't trust anyone with a vague law they can apply to a broad swathe of the public.

What?
"You're not allowed to group together, this is to fight anti-social behavior"
Did I read that right? Isn't the very fucking point of "social" to GROUO TOGETHER?

Good thing I'm usually in a group of 1.

Thats why they wwere prohibited, because they are pointless anyway.

Though I sort of get that the original idea was to limit "unwanted" individuals (drunk youths, etc., etc.) from making a ruckus at night, the execution is almost comically stupid in this case.

Which is strange, because weren't people just telling women in the UK to travel in groups of 2 or more as a way to prevent rape?

No problem, just go with the one arm length rule.
[–] Sikozen ago
Maybe the Mexican Arms-Length Rule - everyone get under one blanket, and if someone gets within arms length of the group you stretch out and cut them.

This is the ultimate conclusion though of having borderless nations. You can either protect your borders, or you must live in a police state.
