If you work hard in real life, people tend to get in your way - either from inertia or prejudice - and they stop you achieving things.

Lift the curtain and 'the State' reveals itself as a little group of fallible men in Whitehall, making guesses about the future, influenced by political prejudices and partisan prejudices, and working on projections drawn from the past by a staff of economists.
Enoch Powell
