So many of the supposed benefits of Brexit rely on the Government playing favourites with particular sectors by means of tax breaks, funding or subsidies currently prohibited under EU law.

But there's absolutely no logical reason to expect the Government *will* act that way.

Not least, because as soon as they shower goodies on one particular sector, it sets a dangerous precedent... Every other sector will be clamouring for their share of Government largesse. The slope is just too slippery to approach.

It's a bit like a large group of friends musing how to spend a £100 windfall. "Well, I could use £50 of that and have a great meal", thinks Bob. "£60 quid of that would fix my fridge", thinks Susan. etc. etc. etc.
