Rape seed?

I sowed some 'wild flower' seed and various things came up including this monster which I think is rape seed, am I right? If so, it's coming out. I hardly count that as a wild flower.

    It could be charlock. pollen beetles will like it.  Similar plant but not too pretty.

    Oh ok, thanks thanks @fidgetbones
    The garden is full of soldier beetles at the moment, the larvae eat greenfly so I'm hoping for that  :)

    Yes I think Charlock is one and the same according to wiki
