Almost every other field manages the concept of short-term consultancy contracts just fine. It's only the smart-arses of the IT world who have tried to use it to escape paying tax and NI for years and are now being deservedly brought to heel.

There is nothing to stop you taking on a one-day consultancy contract (I have one in a couple of weeks myself) as long as you pay your bloody taxes. There, that wasn't so hard, was it?
