The content of the comment you wish to complain about was:
"I agree that things could be made better for people who are homeless and that this should be looked at – I also accept that there may be difficulties at times. What I can’t accept is the tone of Ewan Ferguson’s article and the contribution of Councillor Willie Sullivan. I would like to know how much contact Ewan ferguson and particularly Willie Sullivan have had with the people who stay at James Bank. Did they stop to think for a minute of the impact this article has on the people who live at James bank or have they decided that they are all “drug addicts” and “criminals”. Have they stopped to think that there may be people living at James Bank who already feel vulnerable and the kind of impact this article has on the people themselves and the discrimination this kind of article can create? This is the second time the Press have written an extremely negative and in my view highly discriminatory article about the people living at James bank. There may be people who like this kind of reporting but I think it is offensive. I would also really like Chief Inspector Baker from Fife police to produce the statistics which he based his comments upon "
