European Union leaders from 27 member states approved a Brexit plan with the UK on Sunday. Now, this draft plan needs to be approved by the UK parliament on December 12. But, what happened in Brussels actually like what it appears to be? It seems that the history is repeating itself, the deal that Britain was offered in 1975 to enter the EU and the one it is being offered to leave are both disingenuous and based on falsehood and deception.

In reality, the Brexit deal, that British Prime Minister Theresa May believes she has brilliantly negotiated, isn't really a Brexit. It is, in fact, a dream ticket for the EU which, in practical terms, doesn't want the UK to leave at all, but prefers an arrangement whereby London stays close but without having any say in the decision-making process in Brussels. 

The EU does not want any disruption in its trade with the UK and wants British companies to comply with the union's state aid and competition laws.

The EU insists that Britain still cannot negotiate trade deals with other countries and demands full access to its fishing waters. In return, it will allow the UK to have control of its own borders without charging an annual membership fee. On top of that, the UK is expected to pay a 40-billion-pound divorce settlement. Is this the plan which Theresa May is presenting as a "good deal" for her country?  

Or is it perhaps one which preserves her political legacy, a prime minister whose heart was never really in Brexit in the first place? 

EU leaders and European Commission officials are happy with this withdrawal deal as it serves their interests and hardly delivers anything in return to the UK. 

It also sets the stage for a huge trap which the UK will fall into. Once we pass the March 29 deadline, the deal will be heavily tilted against the UK. It is already clear that incendiary subjects, like fishery rights, will be hidden for the moment, until the UK moves ahead with the present draft.

This is how the EU operates: hiding in the shadows and not playing a straightforward and fair game. 

The EU was never really sincere about being a straightforward negotiator, it tricked Britain into expediting the negotiations to kick-start a two-year deadline. In reality, the EU side was entirely disingenuous as May's Brexit deal is a great deal for Brussels and a truly awful one for the other side.

Brussels has always been worried over Brexit setting an example for other countries to follow and was always determined to capitalize on Brexit to demonstrate the futility of leaving the EU to other Eurosceptic countries who are mulling the idea of leaving the EU.

Now, red in tooth and claw, Brussels has what it craves: a weak Britain about to be pounded by a Brexit deal which in fact will cost it a fortune and keep it under the thumb of the EU.

Under the deal, if Britain wishes to stay in the "single market" (continue trading on zero tariffs with the rest of the EU), then it will have to respect EU laws – a triumph of absurdity given that a big complaint from British business was that it was being beaten by EU companies, who weren't shackled by EU regulations, flooding the same market with cheaper goods.

But the greater farce, which will have them laughing in Brussels for weeks and years to come, is that the deal, that May has proposed, will not let Britain negotiate trade deals with other countries around the world – a silver bullet if ever there was one, for a post Brexit government to counter the economic strains put on the economy in the first few years.

But it's the dreaded EU Customs Union and remaining in it which is a killer blow to Britain's post-Brexit prosperity and the EU knows it, which is why it has played this card.

What we are witnessing with the Brexit deal is just that: a weak Britain which has been tricked and bullied into a deal which will only serve the purposes of the EU.

British MPs should not believe Jean-Claude Junker when he told a BBC journalist twice "This is the only deal possible."

It's a deal which is almost entirely about the preservation of the EU, which once again, Britain will handsomely pay for.
