Ms Clinton, who last month started a two-year course in International Relations at University College, Oxford, wrote in an article for a US magazine that she had been offended by anti-American sentiments from other students and "peace" demonstrators. She claims she now prefers to stay with "Americans - people who I know are thinking about our country as much as I am."

But students at Oxford said today that far from people approaching her, Ms Clinton has been looking for an argument. Eight days ago she attended an anti-war rally at Oxford town hall with a group of friends. Not only did they hang an American flag across the wall, the group heckled from the floor, calling out: "How do you catch Osama, then?"

The student organiser for the Stop the War coalition, Helen Salmon, said the whole incident at Oxford was "hilarious".
