Most likely just because it was less visible and because the attacks on the two Jewish victims were thought to be a continuation of the recent attacks on the Jewish community, meaning they were part of a bigger story

Fair point, but given the prominence of the story it seems strange that the third attack has so little coverage. But certainly the two happening in the street is a factor , having CCTV seems to make any story more newsworthy. 
 

I also read the guy was put away before for stabbing a police dog. Radicalisation of folk with clear mental health issues is a massive threat.

As for the EU, it didn't stop Italy, Greece etc from being invaded

Wonder why the spike after 2020?

Also leaving the ECHR will not stop boats coming whatsoever.

We are still in a refugee convention from 1951.

We can't leave them bobbing about at sea and France won't take them back.

Do we think that the recent rise in anti-semitic attacks is linked to the ever increasing cuntishness of the Israeli government/armed forces etc?

When we were in the EU it didn’t mean we could just turn boats around. If we were still in the EU now we would probably still have a shit loads of boats coming

By rights it should, but I suppose the reality is there's not as much mileage in "man stabs friend", and especially if there's a possibility the other two were targeted because of their ethnicity

I think your last sentence is part of the reason why the small boats crisis has such salience
