I've seen far worse tweets posted than her one.
Also another way to look at it could be the fact of being trapped in a confined space with people who don't talk the same language as you and thus being made to feel vulnerable. She very may well have just panicked. We on this forum don't know the full extent of why she made the tweet.
i know who id rather be stuck on a train with forginers or a bunch of kerry and her mates
mind you could be the difference of being in the north and the south
find northerners friendlier on trains

You might have the nail on the head there.
In this day and age of immediate sharing in the public domain you have to be careful what you say and where you say it.
I doubt anyone on this thread actually 'knows' Kerrie Lee only what they read in her tweets.And lets face it we all know a lot of people who tweet or comment on facebook purely to get a reaction from people either sympathetic or otherwise.Not a lot of thought goes into them.
I know a number of young women for instance who tweet stuff which seems to be at complete odds with their general world view.

Yes i know nobody is saying her tweet was acceptable, but like i said, based on 1 tweet and not knowing the girls attitude or views towards foreigners i won't be judging whether the girl is actually xenophobic or not, or speculate has to why she made the tweet.
It could has you suggest be down to her age, it could be like you say down to the fact that she felt trapped and vulnerable being in a confined space with people that don't speak the same language, so panicked and described foreigners in the way she did on twitter, or then again she could hate foreigners and be xenophobic, i have no idea myself i don't know the girl, so won't make a judgement .
In my view it pretty pointless speculating has to why she said it and coming up with various reasons to explain her tweet that was Xenophobic, i will leave that for the imagination of others .

Kerrie-Lee has tweeted an apology this afternoon

Sorry if I offended anyone yesterday I was really angry and very ill didn't intend to upset anyone by my disgusting language! World peace
hopefully Kerrie-Lee has learnt her lesson and will be more careful from now on when tweeting. also of course hope she gets well soon.
rammy well on the trains i've been on mind you sat night on the manchester airport - blackpool north train after a united match is a different story
think now shes apologised should leave it at that now
^^^
Agree hannahspet. Now kerrie-lee has apologised, we should leave it as that. She's also tweeted after her apology that she's still not well, so may not be on s66 tonight
She has done the decent thing and apologised.
Case closed.
Lots as been made of people saying the wrong things lately regarding race and religions, mainly in the world of sport. Thus the governing bodies of the sports involved seem to be coming down hard on the so-called perpetrators of these acts.
By saying that Kerrie as apologised, should that be enough as far as she is concerned, or should she be properly punished for it? I don't know what she said so I can't pass any judgement on her. But she should be responsible for what she says. She is a celebrity of sorts, and she does carry an influence over people.
I have no idea what she tweeted, nor indeed any interest. But, in keeping with the forum tradition of posting speculation and/or judgment on any and all matters regardless of knowledge: I think she should be strung from the battlements/placed on a pedestal*
*Delete as applicable, depending on current forum trend/popular opinion.
It's not very often that me and Rammy ever agree on anything, infact it's very rare so mark this date in your diary as it's unlikely to ever happen again
Kerrie apologised and that's good enough I'd Imagine for everybody. With the greatest of respect she's isn't the brightest cookie in the world, hence the reason she's getting her tit's out for a living but that's why we all love her so much
