Hold on socket with plug top is no live until plugged into that 4 way block
You can't be sure of that?? Would you be willing to touch it? Haha
The question is though, which way is the electricity flowing?
The socket switch is irrelevant - if the black flex is in the terminals with some live T+E the switch will not affect it. But I bet there is a white flex going into the bottom of the 4-way strip which is where the power comes from, and the only conductors in the single socket terminals are those of the black flex. Quite what the point is of a plug feeding a single socket I couldn't say!
Just goes to show what a Electrical Trainee learns.
