In April 2016, Charles Moore wrote in "The Spectator" that the "Daily Mail" was covering the referendum campaign with "more anger than melancholy" with "bellowings of Eurosceptic rage from the great Paul Dacre". The "Daily Mail" backed the 'leave' option, or Brexit vote in the edition of 21 June, following an emphasis over the previous month on stories critical of immigration. On 22 June, a day before the referendum, it urged: "Lies. Greedy elites. Or a great future outside a broken, dying Europe. ...If You Believe in Britain, Vote Leave". The paper and its editor, according to David Bond in the "Financial Times" in July 2016, "have been leading the Eurosceptic charge against Brussels for two decades". In contrast, the editor of sister title "The Mail on Sunday", Geordie Greig, backed the 'remain' option in the referendum, although Dacre is formally his superior.
