Despite you protestations it's evident from your own words that you did NOT know what you were voting for.
Yes you may have latched onto a few items which irked you personally and influenced your vote to leave but in doing so you spectacularly failed to appreciate the big picture and are now paying the price.

Schadenfreude indeed then and moaning about it here will garner you very little sympathy, certainly none from me, as ye sow so shall ye reap.
To enlighten your befuddled mind in simple words Schengen is broadly the equivalent of the UK's Border Force and performs the same function in policing and controlling who enters their territory.
Very interesting to learn that they now have had to resort to a Schengen system to exercise controls - it used to be a simple face- to face single presentation of one's passport to a human - which on my last visit in July still existed. So here we are again spending money like water with a duplicated system for border controls - but this time fortunately not my money.
Judging by the ever increasing numbers of people sadly risking their lives crossing the ENGLISH channel in rubber boats , surely the money would be better spent on more effective internal people movements, who mostly - again sadly - have few resources to financially contribute to the European ever diminishing resources.
It is as very strange and worrying new world that has developed in which the UK had little ability to participate in in any meaningful way whist shackled to the inefficient Brussel's based plutocracy - hence we left thank goodness.
We will be in Moraira again in two weeks time mostly to contribute substantially to the local construction industry - providing those in Brussels don't try to get their fingers in the pot. Have a nice day and nice to talk to you Sir
