Which is why the likes of the Germans and French criticising the UK for doing just that is hard to swallow. We're all playing the same game and looking after number one is what matters most to us all. It seems they expected us to help protect their interests and are rather indignant that we chose not to. They'd have done exactly the same in our shoes.
