They were involved in negotiating it with France. They had to agree with it, they thought it was a good idea because they were the ones that made it up. They were rude to Germany and included rude tasks for the Germans to do. They had to pay for the whole way, they couldn't ally with Austria, they couldn't have a navy and their army had to be no bigger than a hundred thousand men, whcih was nothing compared to the other armies.
From an early stage there was a lot of skepticism in Britain about the Versailles Treaty, and Britain was keen - long before appeasement - to see some of the harsher terms of the treaty, especially reparations made less burdensome for Germany. At this early stage, changes to the territorial provisions were a no-no.
At the time, most Brits thought it was about what Germany deserved, or maybe even too lenient.
Some people, mostly on the left, thought from the beginning that it was too severe. Over time, most Britons, save for a few old-fashioned Tories, came to share that view, hence the broad support for appeasement in the 1930s.
