 I have a mole in my allotment and his favorite place to make all his tunnels is my potato bed ! 

I am not sure if this has caused blight or if my potatoes have gone like this because the roots are damaged.

Should i take all the foilage off and burn it ?

    I don't think that is blight, could it be sunburn? I'm sure someone who knows more will come along soonimage

    It looks like blight to me & I don't think Mr Mole has anything to do with it.

    I would cut off the tops and burn them, salvage what potatoes you can & eat them...they won't keep.

    I agree with David - it looks like blight to me too image
