An online poll hosted on the Daily Telegraph’s website asking people whether Gibraltar is British or Spanish is currently indicating that an overwhelming majority believe the British overseas self-governing territory to be Spanish.

A whopping 242,000 votes have been registered so far with 93% (that is, over 220,000) expressing the opinion that Gibraltar is Spanish.

There are no claims as to the accuracy or otherwise of the poll but there are reports that a link to the voting page was passed on as part of a chain letter campaign urging Spanish people to vote.
