He fought him for 30 seconds after giving him the R. Lee Ermey treatment for 20 minutes.
And if you believe that you believe anything.
There is something very fishy about this whole debacle.
At first, the BBC reported it as a "fracas" and anyone who witnessed it who has spoken to the media - including James May - described it as "not much" and a "minor incident." Everybody the media has spoken to who witnessed the incident said it was a minor altercation. James May himself has said he is surprised that the whole affair has become as big as it is. So it does seem from all this that it was a minor incident.
Then, after waiting days and days for the BBC to "investigate" the matter - what were they investigating? We all know what happened - they then tell us that Clarkson fought Tymon "for 30 seconds." So rather than a "minor incident", as those who witnessed it said, the BBC are now trying to tell us it was a major act of violence lasting lasting for 30 seconds.
I've also noticed that there are no photographs anywhere, that I'm aware of, of Tymon's supposed injuries. Not even any photographs taken by a member of the public who managed to get a quick snapshot of Tymon's injured face.
It's all seems rather fishy and strange to me.

If anyone of us did this at our jobs I dare say that wed fired for that as well (except maybe for my job. There's no standards there).
