<<They are a Mayday, they have full priority they can do what they like. no need to waste your energy talking about what radials you are flying just say we are going to this waypoint to hold, end of! when ready and NN checklist complete advise them you are coming in to land.>>
In the real world it doesn't quite work like that. Pilots and controllers are highly trained professionals and behave in a calm manner. Pilots don't just fly off somewhere and do what they want, especially in a busy TMA. If a pilot wishes to hold, ATC will offer the safest place to hold for an expeditious return to the airfield, maybe holding the aircraft on radar if the pilot wishes. Safety is the main concern and ATC will do everything possible to assist but it's no good barging around assuming that the airspace is clear because there might be a loud bang.
By "breaks" I think you means "brakes"?
