Depends what is attached to it, if it's only metal, heat usually works, or acetone dissolves most laquers.
If you have plastic attached it's far more difficult.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.
