Hmm ok. Great. So this copper pulled me over when I finished parking 
well already pulled me over and said "your lucky I don't ticket you for 
the broken reverse light" ... I was sure it isn't a legal requirement 
but he was a jobsworth arse so said thanks and I'll fix it now, had a 
spare. He fked off. Guess he was just being stupid.

Is it a case of, if the vehicle has one fitted it must work.  i.e. a car 
manufactured without one (ye olde ones) are not breaking the law, but a 
newer car with a faulty reversing light is?

Sounds like you're a pikey with a pikey car, and a pikey attitude to 
match. He probably just wanted to pick on a pikey; this is understandable.

Nope, my old Saab 900 passed with a non functional reverse light.
Construction and use requires it, MOT doesn't

It was just a switch, so it was fixed next time I was down the scrappy 
for something else.

I don't think it does. It certainly didn't as late as 1990, at least.

If there IS a reversing light, it must be either automatically 
illuminated only in reverse gear, or there be an interior warning light, 
but I don't think there's a requirement.

Can't think of any new car without one, mind.

If your car has a reversing light, it must work.

But, it isn't checked in an MoT test.

According to the lights (light) this is the case.  The other side is foggy.

A guy was playing golf at some fancy club, and just as he was
about to tee off , a cart drives up.  These two guys get out and
hand him a note saying, "We are deaf, may we play
through?"

The guy says, "Hell no!", and tees off anyway.

Later on (after six shots), he is on the green about to putt when
a ball comes from out of nowhere and misses his head by an
inch.  "What the @#$%^&*?",  he yells.

The deaf guys drive up and hand him a note.  On the note is
written, "FORE".

I think you can safely assume that both sides of the car are reversing
simultaneously.

Austin Metro reversing lights (1980)
When the Metro was launched, the basic version did not get reversing
lights - you had to buy the more expensive model to enjoy safe
reversing in the dark. However, it was much simpler to have only one
wiring harness and one set of rear lights for all models. So the base
models had reversing lights - but the little 5p bulbs were not fitted.
Some enterprising garages offered to fit them while the car was in for
servicing - at rather more than 5p.

Reversing on black ice is usually unintentional and not in reverse
gear, therefore displaying no reversing lights.

Reverse lights are not bright enough to light your way.  When I had to reverse down a lane in the pitch black, I drove with brake, fog, and hazard lights on so I could see!
