League of Youth

The Labour League of Youth was the youth organisation of the British Labour Party from 1926 to the 1960s.[1] Two separate organisations existed, separated by the Second World War, the post-war League being more tightly controlled by the party.[1] In the 1930s the League included far left elements, such as Trotskyists and Communists; the chairman in its last years, Ted Willis, worked with and later became secretary of the YCL.[2] The organisation accepted members from the ages of 16 to 25.

Successors

gollark: I don't really agree with Chinese room arguments.
gollark: Photonic ML hardware is apparently beginning to exist and is very efficient, so that could help in a few years.
gollark: There is apparently work on accursed optics things for the displays, and batteries... are harder, but maybe minimising power use with more efficient hardware can be done.
gollark: Enough minor conveniences stacked together gives a useful product. And you can fit smartphone SoCs into slightly bulky glasses - there are already AR devkits doing this. The main limitation is that the displays aren't very good and it is hard to fit sufficient batteries.
gollark: Also, you could sort of gain extra senses of some possible value by mapping things like LIDAR output (AR glasses will probably have something like that for object recognition) and the local wireless environment onto the display.
