ELI5: Why does there seem to be so many more (recent) terror incidents in the UK when so much of Muslim extremist anger is directed towards the US?

Pretty much everything that is true of US involvement in the Middle East is also true of the UK.

The UK has partnered with the US in most of the recent interventions in the Middle East - Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria.

The UK is the second largest arms dealer in the world and (in particular) trades to Saudi Arabia, which uses those weapons to bomb Yemen and contribute to the jihadi terrorism in the region.

The UK has a long history of self-serving intervention in the Middle East which has resulted in much ill-feeling towards the British government. 

The Police Federation (the government-controlled police union) has said that the reason there are more attacks is because of a reduction in the government budget for policing and therefore less preventative policing happening in communities. The Government does not agree with that assessment.
