The UK is notorious for their safety precautions. Not only do all plugs have a fuse in them, but wall outlets are usually behind a local fuse even before a home's circuit breaker.
The fold out wings provide a great way to minimize the possibility of contact with the live contact.
And it's just so pretty!

We normally have a circuit breaker and fuse in the plug. For things like my PC, I also use 4-way extension cords which have an additional fuse and surge protector.
