The Prodigy's Keith Flint made headlines over the weekend when it was revealed that hacking group Anonymous had threatened to 'politically kill' him for his role in fox hunting.

Now, the frontman has responded to the claims via his band's Facebook page, posting a statement that claimed it was a once-off and he would not be repeating the feat.

It read in full:

"Message from Keef Flint: 'In regards to a story going around about me right now - yes I live in essex and have a couple of horses. I went riding with the local trail hunt, it was a ride out and NO ANIMALS WERE HUNTED OR KILLED, so my conscience is clear, it wasn't my thing and I won't be going again."

Not everyone was on board with his explanation, however...
