The fuse is actually in the UK plug (the big brick-like thing with the wire on it), not the socket. But yes, it’s a thing, and most of the rest of the world considers it overkill. Also a lot of cheap junky equipment (ironically the stuff where you’d most want the fuse) omits the fuse in the plug, go figure.

Yea I know, I’ve wired a plug.
Never seen a fuse in a socket though. That comment is completely wrong and yet it’s the most up voted reply.
Never seen a house without a fuse box either.
No fuses in the switch box though, it’s a box of circuits breakers
Yea I know, I said that.
People still call them fuse boxes though.
I am not sure if I mispoke or misread. Apologies for implying ignorance, I just wanted to dump my mind
Didn’t the uk used to have appliances without plugs that you’d need to wire yourself If inrecalling that Tom Scott video correctly
Yes. I believe that’s true but I’ve never done it myself.
