IMO smash it, pay 70 quid for your insurance to replace it

not really sure if it is or not tbh, don't know if technically they will only cover accidental damage or what.
i dont feel that guilty about doing it though because my insurance premium is more then the cost for them to replace the windscreen especially with the 70 quid deposit so im hardly leaving the insurers out of pocket

lake country or county, something like that, do a glass polishing kit, you need a rotary machine polisher for it though

best plan, providing your car isn't something a bit unusual and notorious for windscreen companies making a hash job of replacing them

They can be polished out but you need to ensure you do a large area otherwise you'll get a wet bit when you wipe it because the wiper won't take up the repair.
