Default is it legal for a UK 13A mains plug to _not_ have a fuse? dodgy camera battery charger?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Andy Dingley
saying something like:

There seems to be no other market that is so prone to dangerous shoddy
goods being sold through eBay.


Huh. My local hardware store stocks a range of ****-made lampholders
that fall apart with the heat of a 60W bulb. Guess where they're made.
Annoying thing is, they're a direct copy of a well-established UK make
and I thought I was buying something half-decent.
