The message added by the setter, whose real name is Samer Nashef, read: "Bollocks to Brexit."
Eagle-eyed readers of the left-leaning newspaper took to Twitter once they spotted the Easter egg.
While one described it as "genius" and another said it was "perfect", Twitter user James Stewart Laing joked: "I'm for remain but that wins most urban elite injoke ever!"
