Industrial action 11, 12, 13th June

Just shows you how much you know about ATC. The holding situation at Heathrow has very little to do with inefficiency of UK ATC.

Does it mean 1/"holding at BIG is perfectly normal, UK ATC is totally inefficient but this is not the most spectacular proof" or 2/"BIG is the most crowded holding in european airspace but UK ATC is nonetheless perfectly efficient" ?

What about the replacement of those 1940s VHF ?

This said, as a user, i find UK ATC comparable to french ATC, both have pros and cons, result is pretty much the same. For real bad ATC try Angola or India

What would you replace VHF with ?

Better ones ?

In UK UIR many used to have quite a bad reception quality. It improved in the last years but some still sound weak, distorted, which is quite unusual in Europe.
