The Prodigy’s Keith Flint has received an ominous “warning” in a video purportedly made by the hacker group Anonymous. 
 
 The frontman of the self-styled electronic punk outfit caught the attention of activists when the Daily Mail published a report which claimed he “has embarked on a new life as a country gent and been spotted riding out with his local hunt.” 
 
 The performer has since made efforts to clear his name by insisting no fox was harmed in his one and only hunt. Anonymous, however, isn’t impressed with his new choice of hobby.

 In a video uploaded to YouTube, a masked figure calls Flint a “traitorous f---wit” for the u-turn on his act’s anti-establishment streak, and warns he has 12 months to clean up his act. 
 
 “It has come to our attention that Keith has a fetish for murdering animals. It has come to our attention that Keith, has been rubbing shoulders with Tory criminals, whilst out fox hunting,” the message begins. 
 
 “We once had a great deal of respect for you, we admired your art, your rage and your vision and your haircut, but now,” the video continues, “Anonymous have targeted you with the message because you disgrace what we stand for."

 The narrator adds, “Some of the tribal chants that were used in the music made by the Prodigy were ancient chants used by spiral tribes to create harmony among all living creatures. The tribes gave the Prodigy permission to use these chant for free, and this is how Keith repays them, by killing animals for sport.” 
 
 In a chilling final message, the masked man warns: “You still have a chance to change your ways Keith. One year should do it.” 
 
 Flint has since issued a message on his band’s Facebook page in which he writes, “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.”

 The wild-haired Flint isn’t the first artist to incur the wrath of Anonymous. Kanye West was the target of a scathing video issued last March by a team claiming to be Anonymous, though the group later distanced itself from the message. 
 
 The Prodigy’s sixth and most recent studio album The Day Is My Enemy peaked opened at No. 1 in the U.K. and No. 127 in the U.S. last April. Its artwork featured an urban fox. ||||| Published on Jan 2, 2016

 ***Warning this video contains graphic content. viewer digression is advised*** 
 
 
 
 Keith likes the torture and killing of animals. How ironic! Keith killed a dear, now anonymous will politically kill Keith. So sit tight.... Keith is gonna be a bumpy ride. Right about now we should imagine Keith head is spinning, the realization of the path he has chosen has finally hit home. Who would of thought Keith of all people, would turn out to be traitorous fuck wit, throughout the years the prodigy made music about rebelling against the establishment, you see mt flint, we once had a great deal of respect for you, we admired your art, your RAGE and your vision and your haircut, but now, anonymous have targeted you with the message because you disgrace what we stand for 
 
 Now you can join kanye and the long list of traitorous individuals who also lost their base to anonymous. 
 
 
 
 This is not a threat, although, we do know where you live. LOL 
 
 
 
 Anonymous does not make threats, this is a warning. 
 
 
 
 Keith is a symbol of a dying dream world created to keep the population busy. Whilst a rich banking elite destroy the land, murder the animals and poison the food.They then further take the fucking piss by using there spare time to hang out with Keith from the prodigy and kill innocent animals for fun. 
 
 
 
 To everyone else, do not fear change. You can continue to download the music of the prodigy free of charge from the internet. Humanity is rising up and people like Keith from the prodigy need to take a long hard look at them selves in the mirror and decide which side they really work for. Some of the tribal chants that were used in the music made by the prodigy were ancient chants used by spiral tribes to create harmony among all living creatures. The tribes gave the prodigy permission to use these chant for free, and this is how Keith repays them, by killing animals for sport. 
 
 
 
 You still have a chance to change your ways Keith, one year should do it. 
 
 
 
 EXPECT US!

 Via #IntelGroup ||||| Just when Tory Sport Minister Tracey Crouch has declared that ‘fox-hunting is a pursuit from the past’ that should be ‘consigned to history’, a most unlikely figure has emerged to give the country pursuit a new lease of life. 
 
 I hear that Keith Flint, the self-proclaimed ‘twisted firestarter’ behind hugely successful dance band The Prodigy, has embarked on a new life as a country gent and been spotted riding out with his local hunt. 
 
 Wild-eyed Flint, 46, who is known for his striking reverse Mohawk hairstyle as much as the techno music that delighted drug-addled ravers, has invested in several hunting horses. 
 
 Keith Flint, the self-proclaimed ‘twisted firestarter’ behind hugely successful dance band The Prodigy, has embarked on a new life as a country gent and been spotted riding out with his local hunt 
 
 He rode one of them, Captain Black, in a hunter trial race in October, finishing in sixth place. The move comes after he became the proud landlord of a genteel 18th-century pub in Essex, whose recent TripAdvisor reviews glowingly describe it as ‘excellent’ and ‘underpriced’. 
 
 ‘He keeps his horses with one of the bigwigs on the local Essex hunt, who lives just up the road from the pub,’ says my man in the red coat. ‘His enthusiasm for the sport is the talk of Essex hunting circles.’ 
 
 Flint, who once courted TV presenter Gail Porter, certainly makes an unlikely tweedy convert. 
 
 When The Prodigy’s famous Firestarter video was first shown on Top Of The Pops in 1996, parents complained to the BBC that Flint’s energetic performance was frightening their children. One letter described him as ‘a man in need of urgent medical attention’. 
 
 The Prodigy’s hit Smack My B**** Up caused an outcry because of its misogynistic title and video depicting scenes of drunken, drug-fuelled sexual excess and violence. 
 
 Flint, who declines to comment, would not be the first rock musician to become enchanted by bucolic pursuits. 
 
 Guitarist Eric Clapton bought countryside outfitter Cordings after developing a keen interest in shooting, while The Who singer Roger Daltrey devotes much of his spare time to trout fishing.

 While Sarah, Duchess of York has failed to find lasting love since divorcing Prince Andrew in 1996, her elder sister is finally having better luck. 
 
 Twice-married Jane Ferguson is enjoying a romance with businessman Ramin Marzbani, who is from Australia, where she works in PR. ‘It’s quite serious,’ I’m told. ‘They are currently touring North America.’ The sisters’ relationship has been frosty since Jane disputed Fergie’s claim that their late mother ‘physically assaulted’ her. 
 
 It might have been a New Year honours list tainted by controversy, but Blur’s Damon Albarn was happy to accept his OBE — all the more surprising given that, six months ago, the Left-wing singer railed against the Establishment. 
 
 ‘I am a republican,’ he said. ‘Any remnants of the aristocracy are to be dismantled immediately. I’m not going to judge the Royals as individuals, I’ve never met them. But the system they perpetuate I’m utterly at odds with.’ 
 
 Perhaps he will regale Her Majesty at his investiture with disrespectful Blur hit This Is A Low: ‘The Queen, she’s gone round the bend, jumped off Land’s End.’

 BBC Director-General Tony Hall’s decision not to keep The Voice at the BBC has left the talent contest’s chirpy co-presenter Emma Willis fearing the sack. 
 
 The show will move to ITV next year and Emma tells me: ‘We don’t know what’s happening. We don’t know if we’ve still got a job.’ Coach will.i.am is missing his pal Danny Cohen, who was a cheerleader for the show before quitting as the BBC director of television last year. ||||| Operation Facebook 
 
 As one of the highest trafficked web sites in the world, millions of people give Facebook their personal information. Facebook's vast data storehouse is ripe for abuse, and Anonymous felt the social media site used this power wrongly. 
 
 In a statement released by the group, Anonymous announced they would launch a full scale attack on the site in an attempt to halt its operations and bring it down. Among their grievances were how Facebook stores data, how it uses it for advertising purposes, and how it makes deleting Facebook accounts extremely difficult. 
 
 But befitting an organization with no leadership, it also appeared that this attack wasn't officially sanctioned. A person claiming to be a high-ranking Anonymous member came forward and said that this supposed attack is actually just an effort to raise awareness about Facebook's privacy policies. Sure enough, November 5, 2011 came and went with no attack and no official statement by Anonymous.
– Anonymous apparently has a new target in its sights, but it's not exactly an "establishment" figure. Instead, he's the lead singer for British "electronic punk" band The Prodigy, reports Billboard. A new video purported to be from the group calls out Keith Flint for participating in a recent fox hunt. “It has come to our attention that Keith has a fetish for murdering animals," says the masked narrator. "It has come to our attention that Keith, has been rubbing shoulders with Tory criminals, whilst out fox hunting." (This though Anonymous "once had a great deal of respect for you, we admired your art, your rage, and your vision and your haircut.") Flint's participation in the hunt first made headlines via the Daily Mail, and Flint seems concerned enough to offer a clarification via Facebook on Sunday, the day after the video was posted to YouTube. "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." Whether that's enough to appease Anonymous is unclear. "You still have a chance to change your ways Keith," warns the video. "One year should do it."
