Re: Dirty Toilet
As I said earlier, I would even be wary of flushing it at the moment because of the signs of a blockage.That stain is both high up, and more or less even round the bowl so the water level must have been that high at some point.
Consequently, I would feel very wary of flushing it unless I knew it was clear, otherwise it might all 'rise up' again.

I know Queenie, but maybe that is why the old chap ended up in hospital for all we know.
We don't know all the circumstances as why this ever happened.

Paint it white.
I'd take cleaning it up as a challenge. A lot of that muck might come off with a good scrub with a lavatory brush but beware of the dreaded splash back. Wear something to protect the eyes and face.
When scrubbed, use a product that advertises removal of staining and limescale.

Re: Dirty Toilet
Pesta, forget vinegar and baking soda they're just not strong enough for this sort of job. Start off by giving the bowl a squirt of Viacal (this is the best descaler on the market imho) and leave for a while. Then give the area you've squirted a good scrub with a scrubbing brush NOT a toilet brush (the bristles are too soft). If this works, carry on. If it doesn't get a deep cleaning company in as someone else has suggested.Regarding bleach and its effects on rubber: you can put bleach into the cistern without too much hassle provided you don't go too strong with the solution. I would suggest using a couple of cups of bleach to one full tank of water maximum.
