No offense, but you seem to be answering the question as an American worker, not a UK worker. Contracting is VERY different in both countries. If the OP is asking about contracting in the UK, I don't believe your lengthy post has any relevance to him. Almost nothing you say about networking, meetups, paperwork+tax, linkedin, etc. applies to the contracting market in the UK.

Networking, meetups and LinkedIn all seem sensible straightforward things in all countries.

I'm in the Uk too and that's exactly what I am trying to do
