parapet

"It's just under the parapet. It's not gone away."

And now Gilligan, another proud Rangers man and another Rangers investor, has put his head above the parapet.

Labour has a huge Commons majority and so far only one Labour MP, Rachael Maskell, has put their head over the parapet by publicly demanding a climbdown on the winter fuel allowance.

She added that Irish women were brought up to believe they should "never complain or put their head up above the parapet".

Death could come suddenly, in a blinding flash, as shells exploded in or near the trenches, or from a well-aimed sniper’s bullet as a soldier peered over a trench parapet into no man’s land.
