This is insane. Legally (like anyone pays any attention to these laws)
you cannot do simple things like fitting an electrical socket to your
own
home, but you can change the brakes on your car. The second one is FAR
more dangerous to other people!

Not helped by it being wrong

You CAN add an extra socket as a spur yourself (subject to it being a
valid
place to add a spur)

It's adding socket as part of the ring that you can't do

Why would one be more dangerous than the other?

Its not dangerous to the individual, it's the fire risk.

In fact it's more likely you **** up a spur, like using 15A cable because
you only put one socket there.

That's wrong too.

The whole idea of the ring main is dangerous anyway.

Nope.

If one cable breaks, it continues working

Yes.

with inadequate protection at the fusebox.

Nope.
