Marwan Koukash came to Britain in 1976, with a nest egg of £200 that the Liverpool-based Palestinian has since turned into millions: he owns a hotel, a rugby club, a few racehorses and much else besides. Now a new reality doc sees him offer a two-week work placement to four jobless “local Brits”.

tbh I doubt there will be much about racing or how many variants on the name Gabrial he can find, but I thought I'd mention it for forumites who like to see owners.

He once said in an interview that if he cannot sleep he rings his trainers up at 2am-4am in the morning and if they dont answer he wants an explanation!!
Cannot fault his work ethic but not a very nice person imo |

By:
marwan needs to earn a few more millions and buy some decent racehorses, because the ones he has are dire.

probably just another hatchet job from channel 4. "indigenous" british are all lazy(some are), foreign workers are all hard working(some are not)... Of course it will be a hatchet job. Not a single one of them will be Muslim even though ONLY 1 in 5 Muslim adults are in work in the UK, I'm sure they will mention this on the show though? Like always, the racism card is brought out once again to explain this fact. But surely the Dr wouldn't be racist so that's even more reason at least one of these young workers should be Muslim, right? The show will make out that young British adults are all lazy and stupid and that all immigrants who come here are hardworking and articulate. Channel 4 is a filthy Anti-British TV channel so you should know what to expect. |

From the Racing Post description, maybe part of it is set in racing (as a stable lad).

FFS - you don't have to be a medical doctor to legitimately call yourself Dr. He got his doctorate here too, before you ask. Interesting how some of you have made up your minds about this programme without even seeing it.

koukash says migrant workers worker harder than uk workers imagine a white person saying the opposite about black workers ,clearly racist ask the west ham coach
|

By:
Yup Pat Morris' yard. Grey horse in video was Pushkin Museum.
Personally I would have given Georgia a job as a mistress ;) |
|
By:
Yup, domino correct. I would have found something that Georgia could excel at, even if she turned up late.

@1st time poster -- many (most?) migrants are white, and many UK workers are Black or Asian.

i agree with the generalisation becoming a racism issue-if you were to say it about any other gender or race you would be liable for prosecution or a tribunal
|

Even if it's true

I must say how impressed I am to have achieved all that he has on £200 is amazing
 I would have blown that in a couple of weeks  |

By:
better to offer a job to someone with an unsubstantiable cv and a basic grasp of the english language
|

By:
It might well be true that "active" migrants are harder working. After all, they have *literally* shown more than a little get-up-and-go to move to a new country. But this would not apply to "passive" migrants who are just brought here by the "active" ones, or to refugees.
So my considered opinion is that it could be true or false. It is certainly capable of being seen as racist if taken out of context and reduced to a twitter storm. |

Suppose there are two types of immigrant: a) one lot who have got off their backsides, sold up and moved to another country to better themselves, as opposed to b) the others who have just been brought along for the ride (dependants, parents etc) or forced out as refugees then it would not be very surprising if the first sort worked harder than the second lot. |

It's a tv reality show- I.e entertainment for the dumbed down masses. The more ' controversial ' the better the size of audience. Cost peanuts to produce , gives the Dr. good PR. It's a ' win win ' for all !!! |

The next one moves up a gear when Marwan takes the trainees to his racecourse box for in-running betting action.

You talking to me, Facts?
Seriously, why are you addressing me? I have only posted once on this thread and your post seems to bear little relevance to my post. Unless you are defending criticising programmes before you have seen them. Actually having seen it, I have some sympathy for your view but that is hardly the point. |

What's the story with him, just seen a horse running at uttoxeter called wawa, and it reminded me of him,and all his Gabriel prefix horses,Gabriels wawa being one, is he still involved in racing,I haven't noticed any of his horses recently, iirc he loved Chester.
