You have 3 options:
1. Take the light fitting back and purchase one which is double insulated.
2. Have your lighting circuit rewired to modern standards.
3. Do away with the wiring above this fitting (terminate it in such a way that the circuit maintains continuity to the other lights), and power the light fitting from a nearby socket, via a fused connection unit (provided the sockets have an earth).
In general, if you have lighting circuits without an earth, it is time to have the wiring inspected!
