I have just got around re-decorating a room that I gave a quick coat of
Magnolia to make it habitable when we moved in here 7.5 years ago! It had
been very badly decorated in the past (more than once going by the vibrant
colours) by a somewhat slap happy painter!
My problem is that they have got pink and purple paint on the white UPVC
window frames.
Can anyone suggest a method of removal?

soak overnight with wet cloths, then emulsion should wipe off.
Hmmmm, not sure how could keep wet cloths clinging to vertical window
frames overnight.

We had emulsion on some of our rads. I found that B&Q own brand paint
and varnish remover gets this off a treat. *But* I don't know whether
the stuff in it (benzyl alcohol) attacks UPVC or not, so if you do use
that (at your own risk) you'd need to to it on a small spot first.

"That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed,
If you have ` a feel` for it you could use metal soap pads but dont
attempt if you have never tried before without experimenting first.
I can take the grime off old french polished wood and you can feel as it
just breaks through the grime and goes smooth, its a delicate touch but
you get used to it.
I would start easiest and safest first (water) then move up a rung if
that fails, very mild abrasives / scraping. I generally start these type
of jobs that way and escalate to the point of `if I cant fix it I will
need to replace it` when I have reached that point anything goes and
usually then works.
