[EU] I want to replace an old multi-socket but the majority of the ones sold today don't have this pin? Why is that and does that mean they are not connected to the ground?

I’ve always known these with pins, or are they replaced by those two tiny plates on the side?

      I thought Britain uses pound square foot square fortnight per Coulomb instead of Volt?
