If the British government recovered fragments of the sword Excalibur and decided to have it re-forged for nation-building reasons, how would they go about it?

@cstross two feasibility studies, one by Capita, the other by PM's brother in law. After £200m spent nothing gets done and sword gets put in storage because there is no display spaces available due to museum budget cuts

@casstr @cstross I have a feeling that after all that happened, the sword would not be put in storage, but rather its ownership would be outsourced.
