As for the various Chief Rabbis, they may none of them have been world-class poskim, but so what? It suffices that all of them have been far greater talmidei chachomim than anyone posting on this forum. More importantly, they have been the morei d’asra in the UK, and therefore they had the full halachic authority and responsibility to pasken on the matter, and their psak MUST be recognized as the authoritative one, even if you will find some greater talmid chochom who disagreed. That is how halacha works.
