Home Office is ‘institutionally racist’, said report into Windrush scandal - Lie!

On the 21st Feb 2020 "The Times" had a headline on its online copy stating  "Home Office is ‘institutionally racist’, said report into Windrush scandal" it went on to say

"A report that concluded the Home Office was “institutionally racist” over its “hostile environment” policy towards migrants has been toned down, The Times has been told.The phrase “institutionally racist” was included in an early draft of the report but no longer appears in more recent versions, according to sources familiar with the review" 

How can this headline match the story it was attached to?  This headline was a LIE!
This is the technique of the Tabloid press not a supposedly respected newspaper.  Further proof of the statement "Don't let the facts get in the way of the story." This is a deliberate act of stating false information which is trying to make a story out of a non story.  The report in its final form did not have this statement and therefore cannot be put forward as being factually correct.  We all write drafts and edit before publication but the facts and true story, hopefully, will be in the final published copy.
Yet again nobody holding the Press to account. IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation) is a joke.
