likely resulting in being accepted as a forgotten about, dangerous problem.
Ignoring the bodginess of how the joint has been made*, what's dangerous about what is or might be going on here?
(* which very much shouldn't be ignored)
If that lot is currently connected into the back of a socket, you at least have two spurs ran from it, with a socket on each.
Is there more than two sockets on the kitchen"ring" or spurs?
Is the breaker suitable for the number of sockets/run of cable etc?
Its been done incorrectly, so the question is how badly.I'm sure that the terminals of a socket weren't intended to be used as a junction box and adding a 5th cable to move the original socket isn't going to improve matters.
