Original review summary

FACTLY says the video shows teenagers setting fire to a Christmas tree in Brussels, Belgium, not an incident in the UK. The review says the footage has no connection to the UK or any recent incident. Its text gives conflicting dates for the Belgian event, so no year is stated here.[S1]
