Odd. I had never heard of Web Applications UK, nor of the fellow who did the interview. I'm willing enough to believe that Craig Dean is a jerk. On the other hand, I would not have advised Ms. Bland to write of herself as "a young girl", nor to give us the backstory on her previous abusive relationship. She would have done better to focus on "why you should read this" and less on "why I'm writing this". Anyway, I wish her luck.
I disagree with you. I find that comparing the behavior of Craig Dean to that of her past abusive relationship helped a lot on getting the point across (at least to me). After all, a job is basically a long term relationship.
I’m sure these people are terrible. But I pray this person never has to interview at a standard US tech company, where two hours just gets you in the door.
had this guy (ceo) come in multiple times for talks at my university during comp sci undergrad, always seemed a pompous asshole full of himself trying to push a wrong agenda onto future developers
Here's an interview with her: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06zl8n6 (It's a bit frustrating that she's asked, several times, for what he said and she doesn't ever give any direct examples).

We all know interviewing is broken, but making them so horrible that people leave in tears is abusive.
The comments under the non-apology from the director are telling: https://twitter.com/UncleThargy/status/1090498634809049093
