Yes, sounds like tomato blight, unfortunately.

Looks like blight too... remove completely and either burn or put in the wheelie bin not the recycling bin or the compost. Dispose of all the soil from containers and grow bags in the same way. Don't grow tomatoes in the same area next year.

Do I get rid also of the tubs I planted Tomato plants in OR Can I just extra specially disinfect them , for next year HOW Does Blight come . ? ( Is it Airborne , in plant itself , ( nurseries fault ) or Compost ?? Or even Water supply ( out of water Butt

No you don't need to get rid of the actual tubs but you will need to disinfect with something like Jeyes fluid. Blight itself is a fungus and is spread by wind borne spores, it is more likely to occur in cool wet summers. The spores can remain in the soil tomatoes, and potatoes, have been grown in hence the need to dispose of and soil in containers.
