Students have voted to ban all military personnel including cadets from a leading UK university.

The snub was delivered at a students' union meeting which condemned the "British military" for waging "an aggressive war overseas".

The union motion, passed on Wednesday night, prohibits the military from setting up recruitment stalls at freshers' fairs and severs all links between the Officer Training Corps and the students' union at University College London.

The decision will add further fuel to a growing row over the treatment of military personnel in Britain.
