All sides of politics and business have been calling for a weaker Sterling as it increases investment and manufacturing jobs growth.

Yup.

If UK was full of exporters then sterling would be strong because lots of great exports - just like DM was for Germany.

Yes I'm sure. Like a brick in the ocean.
