So what you have there is a sign of what's to come. The 2 outside ones are your power to your light fitting and are currently the wrong way round, blue wire should be in the N terminal, brown in LINE. I'm assuming that you have BLACK and RED wires in the centre as the colour balance is poor.
The BLACK wire in the 2nd position from left with the white sleeve is your switch line should have continuity with the BLACK wire in the back of the switch.
3rd position from left is the live feed to the switch, with the power to the system off you could remove these 2 wires and connect them together then check that you have continuity at the switch.
The next 4 positions are loop in and out of the lighting circuit. They should be red LINE and BLACK neutral.
I'm struggling to suggest ways for you to test it because there are so many safety warnings I'd have to give you. Clearly LINE & N at the moment are live, If you took the bulb out then N to EARTH should not have any voltage on it. If it does then your problem is somewhere else in the house wiring. Could be a short on the wiring circuit, you could carry out an IR test on the wiring to find out.
