OK, so here's the upshot: I plugged my hands in, and carefully tried to extract the plant... I needed to use lts of strength and what came out was an UGG=Unidentified Growing Green-thing. Sort of a GM hybrid of woody radish/parsnip, withleaves which indeed remind of rocket, but with an unpleasant smell. Result, I pulled out the three similar UGG that were occupying a big chunk of the raised bed, and gave more room to the growing cabbage. Meanwhile, I "discovered" some nicely growing beetroot, looking like beetroot (at least for its leaves) that I couldn't see before because of the invasive "Dalek".

Could be. If it is, that makes removing them even more difficult without disturbing the surrounding plants.
Might be an idea to feel down into the soil around the roots of the interloper. It will reveal what's underneath.
