A racism row singer fired from his day job with West Yorkshire Police has lost his claim for unfair dismissal.
Gary Marsden I'Anson, of Morley, was arrested and sacked over his alleged association with the British National Party and for using work time to compile right-wing CDs and DVDs for his rock band Anglo Saxon.
The police imaging officer of 23 years claimed West Yorkshire Police unfairly dismissed and discriminated against him.
But an employment tribunal in Leeds has ruled against Mr I'Anson.
Deputy Chief Constable David Crompton said: "This case was significantly aggravated by the fact that force computers were being used in order to generate material which was clearly supportive of the BNP and which had content that was unquestionably contrary to the aims and values of the force."
Now jobless Mr I'Anson, 48, said: "It's a sad day for freedom of speech, artistic expression, liberty, democracy and human rights. It is a good day for political correctness."
Mr I'Anson denies any political links to the BNP and says he is not racist but an 'anti-terrorist patriot.'
He said police were "talking nonsense" over claims he is associated with the BNP.
In 2007 Mr I'Anson was arrested on suspicion of possession of written material with intent to incite racial hatred. He denied any wrongdoing and no charges were brought.
After being suspended on full pay he was eventually sacked in February 2009, after a two-year investigation.
